This last Saturday of March has snuck up on me somehow! Thank goodness Thursday is my day off and I finally got a little sewing time during the afternoon to pick out, cut and sew these 10 Sweet Confetti blocks from Sunday Best Quilts.
Then I moved onto the nine patches and stars.... I managed to finish off the orange one I had started last month and make a couple of stars..... then the bobbin thread ran out so I was done for the night.
Friday afternoon after work, I had to 'fix' the orange one - as a star had a wonky wing, and managed to get both of the teal blocks done. They are finishing at 12 inches by the way. I think I'll just make 2 each month as that will give me 20 blocks - in a 4x5 setting of 48x60 for a nice throw size..... unless I decide to make 3 each month (and make another orange and teal) and have a 5x6 setting for a 60x72... since the kids are growing taller than me already...... we will see how the weekend goes!
I made a list on my white board in the office of the blocks I am making this year.... since I keep forgetting each month! I had 4 of the stash buster blocks in light and dark green. I made 2 in teals. I'll probably make a couple of orange ones tomorrow and maybe a bright green one... or two. These are fun to make and if my scraps had a 3.5 strip I could really have fun with this. We will see how distracted I get after making the orange and green ones... and how much AC time I need since the temps this weekend are going to be in the mid 90's in Florida!
I'll link up Saturday with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I do wonder what color April will be?

We (I say "we" Thom actually !!) uncovered our Sunsetter awning for the Season--hoping for warm weather so we can sit on our deck--right now the wind off the ocean is pretty chilly still...
I am totally "masked" out--I made 12 this week, cutting and making my own binding ties..mailed them off to family, D O N E. Not really my kind of sewing--(had to think hahaha) ..after the 1st three I finally
really got the hang of it..
Our c-virus cases are skyrocketing in our Town with New Yorkers coming to their Summer beach cottages. So...
Staying home...hoping to return to my "Quiltus Interruptus" and work on my fun Courthouse Steps project after a bit of a rest...

that's right almost time for a new color! I wonder what it will be - love your blocks!
I just LOVE those blocks! Like you, I’m looking forward to April’s RSC color. Any change is good these days, right? We had snow here twice this week, with a lot of preceding wind. The sun did finally come out today, although it’sfrigid. We’re still waiting for Spring here!
Nice work on your TEAL blocks for the RSC, Deb! And those Stash Buster blocks? You are putting me to shame, as I have only managed ONE each month!!
Fun to see what you got done! I especially love those star blocks. Can't believe you're in the 90s down there already!
The Sweet Confetti blocks are cool. I can't wait to see where they land. Enjoy your day off.
Your blocks are so very cute!
Your star blocks in particular are my favourites, they look so pretty.
All 3 projects are looking good! We hit 90 this week in South Texas! Cooler this morning!
Love your blocks and thank you for the link for the Scrap Buster block. Yuck on A/C time. We used to live in the panhandle of FL and I hated all that A/C time. Of course I miss the winters there though! We're nice here in the St. Louis area with 40s for the lows and 60s for the highs. Makes for nice walks with the dog. Have a great week!
