July was a busy month and it looks
like August will be the same!
The Saskatchewan quilts were
well received and spread some joy
and great feelings all around the province.
Now I am finishing up a quilt to take to
family in Vancouver.
This is the color block quilt using
white sashing around colored scrap squares.
Some call them crumb blocks but these
have large pieces and often include parts
of previous projects.
This one of my go to blocks to use up scraps
and get a great result every time!
You'll notice the parched looking grass.
We've been under a water ban for
weeks now. A dry hot summer here!
This quilt is so much fun to make.
It may end up on my remake list !
It resided on the design wall for some time and
was even part of the design wall pile up for a while!
One difficulty I ran into was pressing
to the least amount of seams.
I turned out to be a problem as
all the colors showed thru the white sashing!
I had to unpin , aggressively repress
and re-pin but it was so worth it!
I took advantage of the different colors to
use a different free motion design for
each different color of block.
Part of this busy month is watching
one of the family dogs (rental dog).
He did help with the photo shoot!
The quilt is bound with a scrappy binding made of
left over block colors.
I used 20" squares for the back.
It really helps pare down the stash!
Doing the label today and then it
is ready for delivery!
Stay safe and sew on!
