RSC15 Finish

There is no lingering lime this week, however there is much to be excited about. My quick little leader and ender, this blue barn raising quilt made with 4 patches and bricks, is almost done!!! I am also getting closer to the bottom of the 2" bin. Seemed so unlikely 4000 squares ago that it could actually happen. This is one of those quilts that will benefit from a couple of borders.

I have been prowling the bins and drawers in this quilt studio pulling the fabrics for Bonnie Hunter's Alletiare!. Let the celebrations begin...the big reveal of the first clue was Friday. Love the golden sun drenched cheddars,  big reds, stoic grey, reverent blacks and slide-on-by neutrals. Ready. Set. Cut. Sew.

But the BEST NEWS: I am doing a great reveal of my RSC15, quilted by the very talented Kim Caskey Custom Quilting.

I need to gather up the bits and pieces and make room for this new mystery. I have loved doing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It really opened up my eyes as to the potential in all of my bottom-of-the-bin scraps and how much more efficient it is to have them organized (by colour) and ready to sew. Either as string blocks or as these prescribed Sawtooth Star treasures.Thank you all for the prompts and suggestions for getting organized. Check out the other lime-lovelies over here at SoScrappy.

my love and hugs to you all

Blue is the Colour

Blue..just "Blue"

is the colour of month for January over at SoScrappy and the first colour of RSC15.

When I first pulled the blue that I used for the centre it looked "blue" in the early morning light.
My first measure and to trim up the dog ears is to place the bias square on that 45 degree angle and then trim from there.


Back to "Blue"...However it is now past noon and it is indeed a darker/more purple shade of "blue" than the "blue" that I used for the Ohio Star Points. Oh well, I have the whole month to get my act together and find the right "blues" in the scrap bin. You can see what others choices (correct choices) some others have made over at RSC15.
