I don't know. Not much I suppose. I was missing in action. I found myself spending too much time reading blogs and watching Youtube. I was not getting anything else done apart from drs appointments. Ever since I got back from Scrub Stitchin' (post will still happen) my enthusiasm faded and I went down the technology rabbit hole. I did hide away and do some sewing which I will slowly post about during June.
It's a new month so I will do a post about my scrappy green mystery project (which I am still to complete) to link up with Scrap Happy Saturday.
During May I did work on a mystery with Conquering Mount Scrapmore.
All the weekly clues make up this 20" block
So 16 blocks make an 80' * 80" quilt
I didn't have a big enough piece of fabric for the backing. I don't normally piece my backings. I thought because it is a scrappy block and a large block why not make an extra large block for the backing. So I made an 80" block like the 20' block. My rectangles were 16" * 32", 16" squares and instead of making large flying geese I made 1/2 square triangles measuring 16".
Now to assemble the pieces into the backing the same way as I made the block for the front.
I failed and didn't do anything with May's challenge, my Flip La K bag.
Hopefully I will have better luck this month. I will be working on making some more placemats for charity.
Maybe I will do some in ORANGE. the colour for the month of June for RSC

OMG..........that Chaos quilt is gorgeous, love the colours and the layout. Well done. I've also been making backings for a whole tub of flimsies. Stay warm, take care & hugs.
Oh Jo we all have months like that. You achieve so much anyway. Like that quilt though. Mt Scrapmore must be decreasing .
Your scrappy green quilt is so effective. The individual blocks don’t make a lot of sense, but when put together they really work. Your plan for the pieced backing is very clever, and as you say, uses up more scraps. I hope it put a dent in them. Have fun with the placemats. I’m sure you can find some orange fabric to incorporate in them.
The Mystery looks great together and i'm sure you;ll get the huge block done for the back.
Enjoy your orange placemats.
Oh and thanks for the orange thumbs up.
That quilt top is beautiful and I love the idea of the giant on on the back. We all need time away occasionally - you will get your mojo back soon. xx
Oh my goodness, your Mount Scrapmore quilt top is amazing, the back is pretty neat too, what a great idea.
We all need time out some times. That mystery quilt looks great - what a fun ide to make the back match!
From chaos to almost complete well done! So clever of you to stitch a BIG block for the backing.
I like your idea to make the backing look like an oversized block. That is smart thinking. It will look great.
