RSC - trying to finish.....

I am working on the last of 9 trip around the world blocks. Each measures 30x30 inches. This last one is teal. Sorry for the bad shots - they were taken last night. I used 2.5 inch squares and added them in rounds for a continuous stitch up to the white round.
All squares cut out.


I was too lazy to lay all of them out again so grabbed this photo. The green block is finished and teal is nearly done. This will pop to work with me today - maybe I can add a round or two?
Trip Around the World blocks

Head on over to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and see what other projects are coming together in December.
I was playing with the sampler quilt earlier this week. I have not started sewing the blocks together yet - maybe next week? You can read about it here and here.

So close to the finish! You can't rush hand sewing, but it does look like it is within reach. what a beautiful quilt this is going to be.

I *love* the trip around the world quilt! It's so pretty, and what a great idea with the lights. It sparkles. The sampler is looking great too!

The trip around the world blocks are so spectacular. What a beautiful quilt this will be! I'm always amazed to see the RSC sew along blocks. We all use the same colour but there are so many fabrics and hues that each one is unique.

I love you Trips - it looks gorgeous in those rainbow colors!
And your sampler is soooo close to a beautiful finish.
And I also really really love the cardinals in your header photo!

Great progress on the trip around the world. Hand sewing is always slow so don't rush. It will be a gorgeous one when done. ;^)

Both quilts are coming along splendidly. Keep up the good work! You are so close to the finish now.

I love both your quilts, too. The Rainbow Sampler is to die for, and the scrappy TAW is clever and gorgeous. One of those (or two or six) is on my bucket list. Anyway, enjoy your December; if you don`t finish this month, next month will do just fine. :-)

The TATW blocks are going to be stunning! Are you going to piece the blocks together by hand, too?
