trimmings

 

Making the triangle blocks for the Tiffany quilt has left me with decent size trimmings that can be made into 2.5 inch blocks.  Too good to waste that’s for sure.

These in turn made 8 inch star blocks. 10 of them. Not sure what will become of them but something will come to mind I’m sure. Maybe a table runner or table topper? 

Enough distractions. Back to working on the main projects.

Pulled another jellyroll from the stash. Don’t remember where I bought it as it’s been there a long while.

There are only 18 strips so I needed a simple design. The blocks finish at 9 inches and I should be able to get 20 blocks out of the strips.

Still working on the Tiffany quilt blocks too.

Looking forward to some cooler weather so I can sit and sew down the binding on some quilts.

rsc 2024 april

 

The colour for RSC 2024 this month is yellow. Not a colour I use very often so I was really scratching to pull this one together.

I’ve also started to pull other colours from the scrap stash for future blocks. Pink and blue should be okay. Aqua is going to be tricky. I don’t know if I’ll make brown if it’s on the list but I might make a brighter green block. I have enough black. Orange is going to be a problem too.

Let’s wait and see what next month’s colour will be, shall we?

stripes

 

I don’t normally like working with stripes but it’s okay when they are used for binding. 

All I need now is some cooler weather so I can sit with these on my lap and sew the binding down.

Summer has lingered this year with day time temperatures still in the high twenties. Autumn should be here soon. Right?
