What I've been working on this week:
The side borders (little black squares) got added as each row was stitched. Now, it's got a border of black squares on the top and bottom, too. Here's the side ...
This weather quilt project was great for using a lot of scraps. But still, I was a little disappointed at how many precut pieces I had left over (not to mention scraps in general!) So, I planned a use for the precut pieces - and some additional scraps as well.
Triangle stripes!
I've been wanting to make a quilt of triangle stripes with neutral background triangles ... And I didn't have a quilt-back planned for the weather quilt yet. So, this is going to be the (elaborate) quilt back!

I stitched weather-quilt leftover strips together, then cut triangles, and matching white triangles.
I even devised a plan for the additional scraps that were leftover from trimming the patchwork down to size. More on that another day.
So, this is progress on scrap-using, and progress on a project I hope to finish soon!
I'm linking this post to this week's UFO Challenge at Jo's Country Junction, and looking forward to seeing what progress others are making on quilt-y UFOs this week.
