Well, the new year is here and it's time to review
how many rainbow scrap quilts and pieces I have ready
before I begin on this years scraps. Another round of rainbow
scrap challenges await.
Last year started out well but when I started to
finish up all the quilt tops, I didn't make as
many colored RSC blocks. Christmas break time was
a great time to catch up on some blocks and make up
kits for quilt tops to be done in the new year.
First, I had to clear the table!
Look at all those buttons!
Every year the family stockings get an update.
Sometimes it is a sentimental treasure, like the
crystals from my mother's necklace or just something
pretty like the embossed gift tags.
This year I am getting ahead by putting
a button tree on each stocking before storage.
Three more to go and the buttons and stockings
will be off to their respective storage homes.
first project from the block bank.
It seems I have a lot of squares sewn into blocks!
These will get sewn up into a large
postage stamp style quilt. The smaller 2" blocks
will be surrounded by 2 1/2" blocks.
If it gets too large, it will be split into 2 twin sized quilts.
There are also some 5 x 5 RSC blocks that
will go into a smaller quilt and end up with a
confetti ( mixed colors) border. Oh look,
some green ones for the current monthly challenge!
Gotta love those squares!
These two projects will be the
first on the finish-up list for the year
and a great goal for this month.
Remember, each journey begins with a single step,
(or two!)
Stay safe and sew on !
