Blue , blue 2022 oops 2023!

 Well, we are back into blue!!!

This is my third rainbow scrap challenge year.

Doing things differently, I actually have a list

of blocks/projects to do for RSC. 

Usually I just punt and hope for the best. 

Starting this year with wonky stars. 

 The backgrounds will be colors 

instead of always white.  These can 

be used together with the white star 

squares to add more variety to the quilts.





 I finished up the stars with a nice stack of sixteen to put 

into the parts department. 

While looking for more white scraps, lots of  strips

showed up!


Three, yes three  wonky log cabin tops were

finished up during the week's sewing! I started 

sewing the blocks New Year's day.



They are measuring (56 x 80)

so they can easily be  a family quilt when upsized by 

adding one more row. I certainly have more strips!



 Stitching up a 

matching baby quilt to keep on hand would be fun. 

A blue and pink wonky log cabin should be adorable!!




I am trying to work through my RSC list.  

A lot of small little pieces showed up during the 

bin sort, (I was looking for white pieces to use in the stars.)



This morning, I will sewing up all those bits to prep

fiddlesticks for next month's RSC. Here is this 

month's offering and they were great fun to do!!


Next up on the RSC journey is the scrap Irish chain.
 
I don't have a pattern so a little drafting/doodling is in order.
 
Can't wait to try it!

Stay safe and sew on !

    1. The log cabins were a big squirrel and really fun to do. Great to hang a flimsy in the closet so early in the year!

    1. Thank you. Some traveling in March will take me away from the machine so I think my sewjo is trying to get ahead!

  5. Thank you, I will slow down, but stitching is a great excuse to listen to some good Britbox shows or chat with sew friends on zoom calls. And I do love all the fabric!!!

  7. You are an inspiration for using up your strings! I keep thinking a log cabin quilt would be great to make but I have enough things started so I'm trying to hold off!

  8. I love your fiddle sticks! You can use some really small scraps with that too. I've had a scrappy star in my wish list for quite awhile too.
