RSC 2023 !! Goals for the year too!

 First day of the year and I am busily 

trying to organize myself so I can make 

the best use of my sewing time. I do find

I stall a bit when I'd love to be sewing but

can't decide what to work on!! 

I save patterns as I see them throughout the 

year and that is where I am going to find 

some new ideas for 2023. 

First up, I found some fiddlesticks over at Kat & Cat quilts.

They focus on charity quilts for their state but they freely 

share great ideas and patterns.  The wind up page has a multitude of 

variations on this scrap burning pattern so 

they are definitely on my list. 


Then I zipped over to Making a Lather and found some

 end of the rainbow blocks that will suit my scrap addiction 

and the RSC perfectly.  This pattern

will also make use of my neutral and 

low volume bin so it is a win win! 

Everyone loves an Irish Chain don't they?!  



I am probably going to use some of my favorites this coming year.

 The wonky star blocks numbers increased dramatically one cold

 weekend. Experimenting with different layouts and color 

placement could start a whole new adventure!

There is still a hunt for a coin or quickie strip 

variation to use each RSC month to clear off the sewing table. 

I will fall back to my weave ( my name for it) block , even

tho my mother always said," White gets dirty so easily. " 

 It can be found at Grace and Peace quilting as well 

as where I found it years ago, in a Leisure Arts book


Low volume and whites/beige can be used for

 backgrounds on this one too, so I can 

work with that bin too! I could do the scalloped edge again too!

Another quilt added to the list is by 

Marjorie Rhine featured in American Quilter July 2020.

It is made of scrap strips also so I can prepare

 scrap string sets for two quilts at once!


Crumb blocks are already on my list 

and there are some new layouts and sashing ideas 

over at Quilts in the Hood.  An occasional poster

 but definitely a winner with this setting idea!

Going thru my project to do dream list,

 I found the garlic knot that was discovered over on

Sew Preeti Quilts. Using solids I was gifted and 

my low volume bin makes that definitely

 good for both scrap busting and RSC. 

+

That looks like almost a list, 

but there are so many patterns and so little time! 

Just looking thru some old emails and 

found a trip around the world that would be fun for 

RSC too.  Stop me now!  

Here's hoping your planning has you thready for

a great New Year (see what I did there!)

I still need to organize my UFOs too!

Stay safe and keep on sewing!

  5. I am quite excited to get stitching! I did get distracted by some wonky log cabins so I may have to add those to the list. Maybe I should make a scrap burning list too. Stay safe and sew on !
