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
Kathy

    Leader/Ender, Bonnie Mystery, AND an RSC finish!! GREAT work!!! You've inspired me to think outside my "tried and true" box when it comes to background fabric. Off to see what NEW neutral I can find in my stash...

    You're done????? Wow. I am SO behind everyone. Your finish is so beautiful. I am amazed at what quilters can do with throw away fabric. Clothing people would never think to keep such small pieces as we use to make enormous quilted art. LeeAnna

    Congratulations on all your finishes. The RSC15 quilt is just stunning. The black and white background does something special for it. And the quilting makes it so cozy.

    Wow, 4000 squares! Your Barn Raising turned out beautifully and so did your RSC star sampler. Congrats on all the finishes.

    The quilts are so different, but both so beautiful. Congratulations on such an early finish of an RSC15 quilt.
