I finished up the Scrap Stash Plus blocks using the free pattern from Quilty Love. I cut all the blocks in January using a curated jelly roll I got on clearance at a store-closing sale for the colors, & the leftover strips from my Shine quilt for the whites. I only used a couple strips for the shiny star pieces in that quilt so had tons left. What to do? This was perfect, so it’s all gone now. With all the blocks done, I’m ready for assembly in the fall.
The two large blocks are for Melissa Corry’s Scraptastic Stars. I need two more to make a lap size, so will have to dig for other colors, then make all the B&W sashings.
And here we have an RSC2024 finish! It’s Scrappy Hearts, also by Quilty Love. I made blocks each month last year, using scrappy LV background scraps. The backing is the new Hush Hush wide backing from Riley Blake which combines all the LV prints from the latest collection in a collage, making it super scrappy. It’s perfect & I think the trimmings from it have yielded enough for the setting triangles for this year’s County Fair RSC2025 project. Win-win!
Monsoon season is finally arriving in Utah. Sounds funny, I know, but in August we get rain from the Pacific in our mountain/desert climate. It’s supposed to start raining today or tomorrow & we are all hoping for a break from this relentless heat & drought! Great sewing weather!
You could send some of that monsoon rain over to your neighbors in Colorado, Sue! We are finally cool and kind of misty today, but need some really good rain to combat the hot and dry summer we’ve had. Congratulations on the beautiful Patchwork Hearts finish, too! I love the way you set those pretty hearts.
Love your Aqua star blocks. I think they are calling my name and want to come and live at my place too. Haha. Scrappy Hearts is a wonderful quilt. Congrats on this gorgeous finish. The scenery at the back is breathtaking. Lucky you for having such a view. I hope the rain does come in your little corner of the world. I’ve just finished reading The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. I need to get my hands on The Blue Hour. Enjoy the sewing. ;^)
Wonderful finish and great progress on RSC blocks
I’m almost done with Blue Hour & it’s good!
Thanks! No rain yet today & it’s evening. Boo!
I love your RSC finish, Sue! Beautiful picture, too! We’ve been enjoying the evening rains from the monsoon season, too. It’s so nice not to have to hand water every.single.day. Are you going to Swiss Days? My friend Ruby and I are planning on it because neither one of us has ever been. In the meantime, we’re sewing like mad!! Xo
No to Swiss Days, but have fun!
