I got a little time to sew this week and prepped some reds for the split nine patch blocks. I always pull one out of the box as a reference to help with placement of the squares.
I think they turned out pretty good! 8 blocks to add to the mix.
I had some thoughts for the Table Scraps Challenge.... but I made a change from the original plan. I was thinking green and red apples, but it didn't happen. I had these squares left on the cutting board after making the above blocks..... so in the interest of the challenge, I used them to make this red toned placemat. I had thoughts of adding a red apple to that one lighter block in the middle, but it didn't happen. It got machine quilted and I attached the binding by machine. I still need practice on that, but it is getting a little easier. As for the letters A and G.... Aren't you Glad I had these blocks sitting on my cutting matt to use this month? I was!
I'll link up with the RSC on Saturday and with Joy at the Table Scrap Challenge on Friday.

Your split nine patch blocks are just beautiful...I love them in the reds...
Hope you have a great weekend...hot and very humid here so in the AC for me...
I may start on trying out a bit of needle turn applique--[deep breath]

Your split 9s look great in red! I love that block. And I also love simple patchwork like you used for that placemat - it's the perfect way to use up the leftover squares from the split 9s. Fun finish!
Too funny, Deb! I am ABSOLUETLY GLAD that you had some scraps to use for your challenge entry. Thanks for continuing to join in the fun!
Hi Deb, I really love your blocks and your placemat. The grays and the red look very sophisticated!
