RSC2024 May week 2

I got started on my pinks this week & got all my blocks done! The large heart in the upper left is Scrappy Hearts & next to it are three pinks for Patchwork Hearts, both by Quilty Love. In the bottom left are four rail fence blocks, then four split 9-patches & some Two-Step from Lissa Alexander’s book “Scrap School”, all made with 2.5″ squares. No wonky Lori Holt paper pieced hearts this month as the layer cake I’m using for it doesn’t have any pink.

Hocus Pocus top from The Pattern Basket is done, using Jessica Dayon’s layout. I need to piece the backing & get it to the quilter, then it goes to my daughter-in-law.

A few months ago, I cut out a bunch of these blocks from donated fabric to make a portion of the pattern, Star Pop II by Quilty Love, into small baby donation quilts. This top is the second one I’ve sewed together & now it’s ready for my quilting partner to quilt up.

And a finish to show! Cookie Cutter began life in a class in summer 2018. I let it lie, then by accident found out one of my quilting partners had taken the same class at a different quilt store that summer. We didn’t tell each other! So when our other quilting partner left for a humanitarian mission for a year, we decided to work on our quilts together & get them done. We did that in 2022, but it took me awhile to get it quilted & bound. Now it’s finally done & I love that Tula Pink fabric!
