rsc summary

summary of 2023 projects

fish school/ kismet is all ready to assemble and packed away for a vacation in the ufo closet

I made the necessary string blocks after the blocks were done according to the rsc colors.

I finished the center of the top for hollow nine. I have cut the wide borders in white and made green vines to add a floral applique .

somewhere in the middle of the year I forgot my strip weave project. I made 12 blocks and I wanted 20. oops.

I was making nine patches for a quilt called diffussion from quilted twins but I wasn't sure how I wanted to make them into a quilt. I was making them in fall colors.

diffusion - quilted twins

I made stars in in the color of the month in with bright batiks and now the top is ready to finish

I cut for the 2023 stashbuster each month - I don't see any mention of that in my posts. I think I made one block.

I made sashing and border strips by color for garlic knots and I made QSTs for box kite

qsts for box kite

I am happy with what is done, but, no finishes yet

Next year. Hard to believe it is time to think about 2024.

1. Across the wide missourri. -I plan to include an older UFO that needs applique. I am intimidated with applique, so, I think making something, maybe only one thing, per month might help me overcome my fears.

2. sugar grove - a quiltville pattern made with a gazillion HSTs. I thought I would include cutting and sewing HSTS by color.

3 2024 stashbuster - there will be a new one I can cut according to colors.

4 lemoyne star - I have the die and thought I would cut for each color. I might want to make a reverse one along with the one in color.

I have a green drawer that won't close, and my 2 1/2 inch strips are a mess. I would like to make a few donation quilts.

red nines

I have neglected my rsc quilt diffussion for a few months. I almost forgot to look at the list, again, this month, to realize that I need red 9 patches for it, too. I did a quick search through my red 2 inch strips and found several shorter pieces. I was able to make 25 or so 9 patches and I think that is the end of red for me and the rainbow scrap challenge this month.

Diffusion is a quilted twins free pattern that is simple 9 patches. I am cutting in fall colors with 2 inch strips. The last color I cut was orange in May

orange diffusion

Orange is the color for the rainbow scrap challenge in May, and, it is a great color for my fall quilt project, diffusion. Diffusion is a quilted twins free pattern. I still haven't decided if I am graduating the background color, yet. But, I can still make 9 patches, and, decide later. I am making my 9 patches using 2 inch strips. It wasn't hard to find orangey little scraps. Finding longer ones, was the problem. Still, I spent a lovely morning sewing strip sets, until, I had a large pile.

I am grateful to have an accuquilt to cut the strip sets 

It makes sewing the 9 patches much easier.
