I spent time building rows for flying home for the rainbow scrap challenge this week. I am gratefull, that there are very few seams that need to match. I am sewing away from home with my trusty featherweight, Florence. I realize how much I take for granted having a real sewing room back home.
I made 4 square play blocks by finishing with a border of scrappy 2 1/2 inch squares. I really like them. They are bigger than I expected, so I will have a donation quilt, sooner than expected,
While I was sewing other parts for the challenge, I made 2 inch 16 patches for square dance as leaders and enders.
And just because, I added blue skies to my projects this month. Blue skies is an older ufo that I moved forward last year. I started ironing the hsts which are 7 1/2 inches. I have a different idea for them than the quiltville quilt that I had originally planned.

Fun Colorful Projects!
ReplyDeleteSo many fun projects. The play blocks really caught my eye. I can imaging piecing them together with settings and corner stones. Could make for some fun optics.
ReplyDeleteSo many fun projects in the works. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteI really love the layout you are using for the Flying Home blocks. I have a few of those blocks in the orphan bin and may have to give that layout a try.

I'm a "scrappy" kind of gal. I'm working with 2 1/2 inch squares.
