It is always fun to start a new year of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Since the scraps are still overtaking the sewing area, I'm joining in again this year.
With a RSC 16 patch stars finish this week, I feel good starting some new projects this year. Everything is subject to change... you know, as life and what you feel like sewing tends to interfere occasionally!
I want to play with my Accuquilt Dies a bit more this year. I might make some one or two color quilts in certain months. I may play with some all year long!
The first ones I want to start with are the kite dies from the 8 inch Cube companion angles - die #14 and #15. I reached into the blue bin and pulled out this pretty blue and since I have this bin unsorted, there was also 2 pieces of this white dotted print in there too. A quick press and they went through the die and cut out these parts for me. I'll plan to sew them up later today. I might mix things up and have some in the reverse with the background as the kite. We will see what happens!

I am tempted to play with my die cutter this year as well now that I will have a bit of space to keep it set up. It is so satisfying to zip though random scraps and make perfect shapes instantly. Love the stars!
I bet 35 degrees feels pretty chilly for you after it is so much warmer most of the time - I like that block
That looks like a fun block to play with! I bet they make some neat secondary designs. The blue quilt is gorgeous - glad to see you've pulled it out to finish!
Gosh it's colder there than here in CT--43 --but gray and raw with a N wind.
the kites in blues will be so pretty...Enjoy your 2023 RSC hugs, Julierose
Gorgeous blue quilt and so is the star quilt. Looks like a fun block to work on. I had to covert 35F to Celsius; +1.6C in FL?! Didn't know it gets that cold there! Sending some of the 86F + high humidity we have these days.
What a fabulous idea to combine learning about your Accuquilt dies with participating in the 2023 RSC. Should make for a delightful quilt.
The blue and white Hoarfrost quilt is beautiful ! I hear you on paper piecing! I like the precision of paper piecing, but ooh it’s a struggle for me! I’ve been saving up and hope to invest in an AccuQuilt cutter this spring! It would be great to get accurate cutting followed by accurate piecing!
