“Bricks” has its scrappy aqua binding on it & is a finish. This was an RSC2021 project that was a flimsy before the end of the year. It got quilted & bound this year. I got the idea for this quilt from Sylvia, who was inspired by Jo’s Country Junction, who found the idea originated with Julie of Me and My Quilts. I used scrappy light gray squares for the low-volume sections.
This is the first of my masculine donation tops to be completed. It’s from a free pattern called Plus Quilt by Jen Eskridge. Hers is a baby quilt, with some cutting & pasting of her worksheet, I expanded it to 60×70 to fit their requirements. This was quick & fun and used some blue & tan.
I made the pink blocks for Catching Rainbows & more stars for September Sky, both patterns by Bonnie Hunter. I need 53 stars for the quilt & 11 are completed, with all the parts done. With the pink sewed, I’ve accomplished my pink projects for this month! I’m removing the Amy Ellis Dancing Stars from my RSC lineup for this year so I’m down to five monthly projects. More time for squirrels!
My current status for the six five RSC2022 projects:
- 4 red, aqua, & yellow, plus 5 pink blocks from the Tula Pink 100 Modern Quilt Blocks (on track)
- 1 red, aqua, yellow, & pink twinkling friendship block inspired by Deb A. (on track)
- 3 red, 2 blue, 2 pink Shine blocks from the free pattern by Melissa Corry (on track)
- 14 red, 16 aqua, 4 yellow, & 14 pink blocks for Sweet Kisses by Gigi’s Thimble (on track)
- 7 red, aqua, yellow, & pink blocks, plus matching border string blocks for Catching Rainbows by Bonnie Hunter (on track)
Your bricks quilt is beautiful! And I love the plus quilt for a “manly” donation. My quilt group is always looking for ideas for quilts for the guys. Great idea to pare down projects to leave more time for squirrels.
Look at you with that colorful completed quilt, a fine quilt top, and a bunch of PINK scrappy blocks, too!! Congrats on being SEW productive, Sue.
