I turned my attention to my applique project - across the wide missourri- for the rainbow scrap challenge this month.
The stars were mostly red, so that was my goal.
It seemed that the cabin was red enough, too. I was able to get the big structure attached to the block.
The chinking for the cabin is going to take a bit. There is a red chimney, but, I can't add it until the roof is finished.
I didn't have many red hsts in my extras drawer. I needed to cut most of the red sets for sugar grove this month. Last month, I had plenty in green in the drawer.

I dug through my red 2 1/2 inch bin to cut for my rsc projects this month. I started with 3 pounds and 10 ounces of strips. After sorting and cutting, I reduced the strips to 1 pound 9 ounces.
I had the equivalent of 1 1/2 jelly rolls in wof strips. I had enough to make a binding for a large quilt - rick rack nines. I cut shorter lengths into hsts for sugar grove and monkey wrench. I sewed odd pieces to a light 2 1/2 inch strip for 4 patches or 25 patches.

That's such a great idea - to make the applique quilt according to the color of themonth! You'll definitely be making progress that way. Pretty HSTs, too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a good start on the applique. Wow, on the progress with your 2.5" strips. That's progress!
ReplyDeleteAcross the wide Misouri is a wonderful design, I'm looking forward to seeing this evolve each month.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects!
