Last week was crazy with medical stuff for both of us, so all I really got done was Week 6 for the Clear Sky Quilt Along with Andy Knowlton of A Bright Corner. No oranges so I didn’t link up. But these are cute & I’m proud of myself for keeping up.
And here is Week 7. This is the last of the blocks. Next week is the final week & we have to assemble the top, so I’ll have a flimsy done. So excited to lay it out & see if my weekly scrappy choices add up to a good visual combination.
So excited for these! The orange full & half blocks are the final ones for “Hip to be Square” from “Splash of Color” by Jackie Kunkel. I’ve made the blocks each applicable month this year so next month I’ll start working on sashing them together. I’ve had this book for a long time & want to make all the patterns in it, so I’m happy to be finally making one!
These are my tall nine patch blocks for the Sept-Oct Covered in Love block drive. She has a tutorial & wants them in this saturated fall palette. Most of the fabric came from the chunks donated by my friend’s retired quilter friend. So again, it’s going to good use in her honor. They look a little wild, so I hope they’re OK!
I just cut a bunch & sewed them & ended up with 16, so that’s a good chunk of a quilt for CIL.
My virtual quilting partner & I finished each of our “Walk in the Park” with ombre fabric we’ve been working on for three years, off & on. I have backing already so may send it to quilter when I pick up. That would be fun to have it finally really done. I also conquered a few Bonnie Hunter “Rockabilly Swing” blocks, plus almost sewed together the pinwheel blocks from my last L&E project to get the center of the flimsy together. Then I need to decide on a pieced border. Looking forward to finishing up my other orange RSC block projects in the next two weeks. Have a happy scrappy day, y’all!
Hi,
All your blocks are beautiful, but I really like those
Hip to be Square blocks. Have a great day!
You get a BIG pat on the back from me for keeping up with the QAL. I’m forever behind when I get involved with them but I keep joining and eventually finishing up. All your blocks are so pretty. Love the Hip to be Squared ones.
