week 1 - February green rainbow scrap challenge

For the rainbow scrap challenge   I made a soul searching quilt as rsc in 2018. I even taught a workshop for my quild for this quilt. These blocks, I found at an estate sale for a 97 year old guild member. She was a dear member. She had all the blocks pieced, but had not assembled the quilt. I brought it with me and want to add this to my projects since it is the only green I have with me.


Last month, I cut each rsc project and finished it before cutting another. Now, that I am comfortable with the process, I decided to live it up and cut them all at once, using green, of course- Square dance, square play, rolling windmill, and candy


Now the fun begins

The square, play block needs frames of 2 1/2 inch squares. I enjoy sewing these randomly in between the other block projects. And, it is like rediscovering loved fabrics..... still they overflow


I had been working on on an alternative blue skies string quilt. I managed to finish the center top. I like it so far. I bought 2 shirts at a thrift store that I will cut to make the borders.

  2. I am in awe of your ability to feel comfy cutting the pieces for several projects at the same time. Blue Skies is particularly fetching.
