RSC Week #46 - Long Road to Catching Up on RSC

Hello! Remember me? 😊

How come it's middle November already?!

I've been busy sewing for my Etsy shop, mostly Christmas and some fall items. I love using up bits and pieces. Mug rugs, trivets and coasters are perfect items for small fabric pieces. Did it make a visible dent in my fabric stash? Nope! Doesn't look like that at all! At least I can say some fabric are used up and out of the way! What I couldn't use in those items, were cut into squares. 

The last couple of weeks I've been playing catch-up on RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challege.

First up are Sherri McConnel's A Quilting Life's BOM 2024

BOM September / RSC Dark (black and brown) 

I made this block in brown

BOM October / RSC Lights and Catching Up

Since RSC September were Brown and Black, I chose black for this one

BOM November / I 'moved' RSC October to November

and made it in light blue

There's one more block (beginning December) and I'm running out of colors! 

 AQUA from July

1 Scrap Jar

 5 Zipper blocks

ORANGE from August

4 Split-9 blocks were born.

I do love that black cat! 

2 Scrap Jar blocks

7 Zipper blocks

I had to go through a lot of 2" squares (collected from swaps) to get a variety for the aqua and orange scrap jar blocks. 

Fun, indeed! 

BROWN from September

I decided to go for brown.  I have a lot of brown squares in sizes from 2" to 5". Fun going through some of those squares, some are from years back when I started quilting. 

4 Split-9

4 Scrap Jar

3 Zippers

I could have made a few more of these, but got bored with them! 

BLACK for September too

4 Split-9

4 Scrap Jar

I added in a few greys too

I've cut fabric for black zipper blocks, I'll do them later

Pat Sloan - 182 Day Solstice Challenge

 Block #13 - Studio Time (Brown)

Block #16 - Friendship (Brown)

Block #18 - On the Go (Black)

Block #24 - Lucky Girl (Black)

As I can recall, this is the first time I've done black & white blocks and I really love how they turned out. 

Not much going on on the sewing table the last days, except sewing together some 2.5" squares, the box was filling up again. How come?! lol

RSC Week #33 - ORANGE

Hello!

It's already past middle August! How did that happen?! 

I've been busy with this, that and everything. Finally this week I have the time to dive into the RSC color for August; ORANGE!

As said, I've been busy sewing the last days and here's the result.

First up is the August block from Sherri McConnel 'A Quilting Life'

182 Day Solstice Challenge - Pat Sloan

Block #2 - Day Into Night

Block #10 - The Coffee Shop

Don't you just love that black cat?! 

Keep the Home Fires Burning

5 Four-patches

1 Friendship block

1 Bowtie block

1 Pinwheel block

2 different Nine-patches

...and if my math is right, ALL blocks - except one - are done for this quilt! 

I'm sooo looking forward to get the top done, but that won't happen now. First priority are fall and Christmas items for my Etsy Shop

RSC Week #29 - AQUA

HAPPY END OF JULY!

How come it's second half of July already?! 

I haven't posted anything this month. July is the start of prepping Christmas items for my Etsy shop and is always a busy month. I've worked mostly on Advent Calendars, mug rugs and trivets. 

Angela at SuperScrappy has chosen AQUA for this month's RSC  (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) scrappy color, shades of blue leaning towards green. 

Hmmm.... That's a tricky color for me, as I don't have many prints in that color. I've done a mix of aqua, turquoise and teal. It's scrappy, after all! 

Let's see what has been done so far this month.

 

First up is July's block from Sherri McConnel 'A quilting Life'

182 Day Solstice Challenge - Pat Sloan

Block #11 - Quilt Math

Block #21 - Tile Time

Keep the Home Fires Burning

'Friendship' block

6 'Four-patches' 

Only a few blocks since I'm almost done, waiting for RSC Orange to complete the last blocks. 

4 Split-9 blocks

I have two aqua/turquoise approximately half yards, I may turn them into a couple of table toppers.
