What a great Sunday!
The day did not live up to its name
but was calm and relaxing anyway!
Awoke to a steady drizzle
and perfect quilting weather.
So much on the go here !
First up are the table scraps of orange.
Sorted out scraps into
shapes and fired up the
feather weight !
Side story here ;
We had scheduled a
Featherweight flash mob but
covid shut us down. We were
going to meet on a driveway,
Featherweights in hand and sew
up some charity tops. Saved for
another day.
Now back to orange!
Worked on sewing these all up .
I got really frustrated with the
minimal progress , but then noticed
all the parts I had ready!
Soldiering on I managed to
get all my orange scraps sewn up
except these small bits.
Here is the wealth of orange parts for my
block bank !
There are 3 - 8 1/2" string squares,
a bunch of 4 1/2 " string sets,
a stack of 2 " squares for the box,
5 - 12 1/2" crumb blocks, and
some stacks of 6 1/2", 2 1/2" & 1 1/2"
strips sets.
Surprise output is 2 sets of orange and white
blocks using this pile of 1 1/4" scraps
that finally turned up.
I will keep working
on them to make 12 1/2" or larger
blocks in the confetti style that is
so popular right now.
I will even add that to my
mental RSC block list.
When next year comes I may
actually be organized for the RSC
but no promises are being made!!
Stay safe and sew on ,
see you again soon!

ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job with sewing your orange scraps into useful parts of quilts. And, the month isn’t half over yet! I am proud of you. The concept of a “block bank” is new to me, and it makes sense. Instead of scraps, I’d rather have blocks in my “block bank” to make withdrawals from. Thanks for joining Design Wal Mondays. Hugs, Judy
Thank you ! It does make it much more fun to just go to the bank and get blocks to put together when I am in the rush for a top. Stay safe and sew on !
DeleteAbsolutely love the concept of a Featherweight Flash Mob. Hum, I might need to borrow the terminology and get my friends to bring them over to sew together! Your oranges look great. I have been pondering next year's RSC block/s also.
ReplyDeleteLovely orange scraps, and sewing all of them into blocks for later is such a great idea! Much manageable than just scraps, and ready for a lot of possibilities!
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up ;)
That is some smart sewing - I really love your orange blocks! Sorry your flash mob got postponed but hopefully you can do it soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking this to To Do Tuesday!
Gosh those are great oranges!! go you!
