I made four Nearly Lemoyne blocks by Bonnie Hunter and I’m excited about how this scrappy quilt will come out. I’m using a Free Spirit Scrap Box of strips that I had around for the bright centers, then stash for the light pieces & the background. That’s my plan for the year until I have enough blocks, or the strips run out & I have to find some other fabric.
So I watched Diann at Little Penguin Quilts work on this quilt all last year & every month I became more determined to make one someday. This week is the last week of pink and on Friday I just decided to add it to my list. It makes #9 on my list of RSC projects for this year which is probably not sustainable for the whole year. But I cut & sewed these blocks in a couple hours & it made me happy, so even if I don’t get it done this year, I’ll get a few rows made and finish next year.
And finally, a pink project to show off. I bought the fat quarters for the hearts to make this for last February & life got in the way. So this week I pulled background, backing, & batting, cut & sewed it up, quilted it on my home machine & got it bound. Just in time to put on my table for February. Yay!
Lots of pretty pink happening at your place. Well done.
Congratulations on finishing your heart quilt! Your pink projects for the RSC are awesome. I made zigzag quilts for two of my grandkids, and they were so much fun.
Pretty PINK blocks for the RSC, Sue! I hope you will add that sweet runner to the Table Scraps Link Party. Find it and lots of inspiration for future projects HERE: https://thejoyfulquilter.blogspot.com/2021/01/january-2021-table-scraps-runnertopper.html
So glad I could inspire you! That’s what I loved about my zigzag project – it was a quick and easy row to make each month. At the end of the year the quilt top went together so quickly because the rows were already together! Great start!
You managed a lot of pink goodness this week! I commend you on REMEMBERING that you had that table runner ready to make from a year ago! Hahaha! Seriously, it worked up beautifully. Great job!
Your Nearly Lemoyne blocks are very pretty, and your table runner is gorgeous. I love that quilt by Diann too – one of these days!
Love your table runner in hearts! It will be fun to watch your zig zag quilt grow this year – I so loved watching Diann’s last year. Lemoyne stars area always fun to see.
Such a pretty heart runner! Like you, I love the zig zag rows for an RSC project, perhaps next year for me.
Better late than never, the heart table runner is so sweet.
