Red for September! I have the red crumb blocks already done for the Irish Chain & there aren’t any red blocks in the Alison Glass kit, so I didn’t have as much red to do. These Rainbow Stairsteps are based on a layout by Julie and this is block #9 since I’ve done one/month. That’s all the blocks I need to do her layout, so it’s time to lay it out & make some black blocks to fill in the edges.

Tumbling Strings is inspired by a selvage quilt by Cathy and I made the red row then sewed it to the finished pink & orange rows from previous months. This top only needs yellow, brown, & black rows.

Here are two more Bonnie Hunter Sandcastle blocks in red. This is my current L&E project but I’ve been doing them in the monthly color lately.

I made 4 red checkerboard blocks and since this was a mid-year addition to my projects, it’s going to finish up sometime next year.

Here are the blue & purple blocks for the Alison Glass Sun Print 2016 project. Last month I didn’t make the blue because I thought there weren’t any in the kit & never got the box out, so when I went for the purples this month I was surprised to find blue. (eyeroll) So lots done this month.

We got to a month that needed crazy patch blocks! These will be cut into small blocks & used to create End of the Rainbow from Melissa Corry’s Irish Chain Quilts book.

Here are two more Bonnie Hunter Sandcastle blocks in purple. This is my current L&E project. I have the string sections & 4-patches made, so I’m putting them together as L&E’s.

I made 6 of the checkerboard blocks for my low priority project that will drift into 2021. It wasn’t in my original plan so I’m fine with that. One day I’ll just decide I want to focus on it & it will get done.

I did the pink blocks for the Alison Glass Sun Print 2016 project. Economy blocks are a little tedious to put together so doing a few each month makes this project fun each month when I come back to it.

Tumbling Strings is inspired by a selvage quilt by Cathy and got a fun pink row, plus I made 3 more blocks for the checkerboard project that’s a low priority.

Since I finished the Diamond Strings, I got distracted by an Arrowhead Puzzle quilt I saw here. I fell in love with it & downloaded the pattern from her link. It’s all 2.5″ squares & I have piles of them already cut in all colors, so it became my L&E project. I quickly caught up with the earlier colors from the year & now here are the pinks. They are accumulating on my design wall & I predict it will be done long before the end of the year! 🙂
