RSC Saturday in Green

Only a few scraps of bright greens remain!

I was able to add a 12 inch crumb block to the very old pile I have sitting around. For some reason there were no green blocks! I added 4 - 6.5 inch blocks in bright greens and then sewed them together to add to the little pile.

 

I also pulled some lighter greens and added another 16 patch this month. I seemed to have a couple of purple ones hanging around as well.

Over at Stashbusters 2020 the block uses 2 inch strips and 3.5 inch squares to bust your stash with the square dance block. This one 'acts' like a log cabin for settings. I was able to pull a few greens to make one so far this month. I am adding darker greens to get the look of light/dark that I want for these blocks. It's green... and they were in the scrap bins!

Yet another challenge - a nine patch a day that I wrote about here over on Facebook. That will work into a couple of projects I have plans for this year. The first one - with the RSC is adding some friendship stars in months other than purple and red (I seem to have 12 of these already) and adding a fun scrappy nine patch to go with them! I see a 12 inch block made up of 2 nines and 2 stars. That should make a fun and colorful quilt by the end of the year. These are using 2.5 inch squares.

The green and cream log cabin got quilted on the domestic machine - I tried a baptist fan freehand. The machine had some tension issues so it was a struggle but..... I think I realized I can do free motion on smaller projects again! I don't seem to have enough brights for a binding... I am in the do I go buy some or do I search the stash and go with something I have.... either a dark tan or dark greens? Still thinking on that one.... This one finishes at 36x48. Trimmed up and ready for a decision. I've been wanting to try this quilting of baptist fans for a few years... love how it turned out.

Linking up on Saturday with the RSC. Head on over and get inspired to use up those scraps.
