April’s color is light or sky blue. I did my turquoise blocks last month with the teal month, so some of my projects don’t really need light blue. Therefore it’s a slim month for my RSC projects.
Rainbow Stairsteps got some medium blue which is darker than last month’s aqua but not dark blue. This month I tried sewing long strips to the white squares, then trimming the whole block to size & they are much straighter. So I’m done cutting them to length first. Based on a layout by Julie.
I did the light blue blocks for the Alison Glass Sun Print 2016 project. I love that these blocks are accumulating a little at a time and by the end of the year, they will be done & I can start adding the sashing & putting it together.
I made 3 more checkerboard blocks to add to the pile. It will be interesting to see how this project shapes up in 2021.
The bottom row is the new one for the month in light & medium blues. Since I have a section ready, I sewed the rows together & I’m loving this! When we get to yellow, that will go between the orange & green rows. Tumbling Strings is inspired by a selvage quilt by Cathy.
Since I didn’t have as many projects to do this month, I started an L&E project with my pile of cut 2.5″ squares. I fell in love with this quilt at Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting. It’s an Arrowhead Puzzle block quilt & she kindly provided a link to the free block pattern. I decided to just start making some & someday it will be a quilt. I also made some orange & green blocks for the Jan & Feb colors. They are quick & lovely.
Wow! Lots of blue here. Love the Rainbow Stairsteps. Awesome! Enjoy! ;^)
