I got a little sewing time in this week for some Green RSC progress. I also did some catch up sewing - I only had 1 16 patch block in yellow and red, so I added another of each and 2 greens to the pile. Not sure what they will become, but they are handy to have ready for quick quilts.
Hand stitching moved to assembly and I have these hand pieced QAYG Hexagons into their column to eventually be added to make the current quilt bigger. I believe I want 2 more of these columns..... so it is time to start prepping more hexagons (and use that extra batting cast offs) for the next row. I'll be needing 48 for the next column.
Linking up Saturday with Angela and the RSC.
I hope to get my alternate blocks made this long holiday weekend as well as the final 5 BITA blocks so I can start assembling that quilt top.
The kids have 3 days of school left next week. Next fall I'll have a Senior and a Junior! Emily is playing at the Graduation Saturday morning (she gets to drive herself over there since it starts at 8AM and I'm sure she has to be there by 7AM).
We did a Brisket on the smoker on Thursday, and I also picked up a close to 10 pound pork shoulder that will go on the smoker sometime this weekend. That should load up the freezer a bit for Greg when we are travelling to Vermont next month for a few weeks. Fingers crossed it is a light hurricane season with no land hits. We could use a break after the back to back hits in October 2024.

wow time to go back to Vermont already - it seems like it was just last summer and you were there! The smoker sounds great I used to have one but like usual I got tired of having to do all the outside cooking besides inside and quit.
We are due for a light hurricane season, but trying to lighten up the freezer is always a smart move just in case. It is hard to believe that your kids are almost done with high school! They grow up so fast. The hexies are looking terrific. It is great to have a handwork project and to use up extra batting bits at the same time. A double win!
Your 16 patch blocks look great! You can just keep piling them up until you're ready to use them. Happy end of the school year, too. We just went to our great-niece's high school graduation yesterday - the time sure flies by! Mike's sister and BIL who live in Ocala (they are her grandparents) came up for a few weeks, and we were talking about hurricane season. Fingers crossed it takes it easy on everyone this year!
Lovely QAYG hexagons! This will be another amazing quilt. You're right, 16 patches always come in handy. I should make some more!
The hexies have a definite wow factor. So striking.
Nice work on getting caught up on your 16-Patch colors for the RSC, Deb!
