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!
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.

3 Zippers
I could have made a few more of these, but got bored with them!
BLACK for September too

4 Scrap Jar
I added in a few greys too
I've cut fabric for black zipper blocks, I'll do them later
Block #16 - Friendship (Brown)
Block #18 - On the Go (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
