I had one last row to do for the row by row quilt. I dug out turquoise scraps and cut 3 1/2 inch hsts. I made the row, and, started joining rows.
I pieced the top, cut the back, and prepared the binding. It is waiting a turn on the longarm.

| All ready to quilt |
I am looking to finish webbing the Irish chain quilt at retreat today. I worked on it yesterday, and started webbing the top. I am a little worried that I am too nosy to be working on something that needs a little more attention at retreat. There are those quilters that put their nose to the machine, and never look up until they are done. I am not one of them.

I was asked more than once, yesterday, how many rainbow quilts did I plan to make? I have plenty of scraps, that I am not sure the question is answerable. I think I will just say... a million. I think it is the best way to make a quilt. While I worked on big goals this year, I was "secretly" sewing blocks by color of the rainbow scrap challenge. And, then, presto, I will have a few new quilts ready to finish. And, I really like the bloggers and inspiration I find every Saturday. Lots of wins.

I love the rainbow projects, too, and I'm sure my local quilting friends wonder if I will ever make anything else! Looking forward to seeing your row x row quilt quilted up!
ReplyDeleteHow many rainbow quilts? Make ALL the rainbow quilts, Maggie!! :o))
ReplyDeleteStitching RSC projects is certainly fun. Like you, my projects have grown from a couple, to several more, just like that! Just as well we all enjoy our stitching!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the RSC bloggers are the best! They are very generous with their comments, and there is a constant flow of inspiration. Let's all keep making rainbow quilts!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are so lovely, what does it matter what colors we make them? Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI think the RSC is a wonderful way to use up actual scraps a little bit at a time and it's kind of fun to see what scraps I get to work with each month when a new color is called. But I don't know what I'll do when I actually use up all my scraps. Guess I'll wait and decide when that happens!
ReplyDeleteI'm nosey too but I don't go to retreats and am pretty much a hermit so I can easily keep my nose to the grindstone. It's just that I have so many grindstones!
I love the RSC too. It keeps me focused on scraps each month and I love that I can lay with different blocks. I love your chain blocks. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThose chains blocks are totally awesome! I socialize too much to really get a ton of quilting completed at a retreat; but, I love learning more about the people who attend!
