Looking around since all the blocks are ready for the Diagonal
Rainbow strings so ...
I moved some piles around and there were all the
stash buster Irish chains waiting patiently.
So off we go and on to quilt tops!
First up is Red. I did up blocks for the RSC
but not in February!!
Remember all the logs from last year ? This year's "logs"
seem to be the Stash Buster Challenge, Irish chain.
I made the first two tops in the early spring (blue and green)
with a layout of 6 x 7 blocks which is a nice twin size.
My taller friends (all my friends) advised
to move up to 6 x 8 blocks to make room
to tuck in your feet or snuggle down into the quilt.
So first, make sure to start with the correct block.
Then on to the second row, rinse and repeat!
Here is the top!
The RSC 2024 color list for this year so far is :
Jan-green x
Feb -red x
March -purple x
April-yellow x
May-pink
June-blue x
July-aquamarine
I think I've got it correct.
I had a goodly stack of blocks but
I couldn't resist doing an orange one!
So checking off the colors with blocks/top done
I was able to add some marks with just a few empties.
Not sure if I have that much aqua but
let's focus on the stacks of blocks first!
We just had three days of scorching weather,
so I had to spent lots of time in the cool of
the sewing room. Soo...
here is the result!
Only the orange top and the extension blocks
for blue and green remain. There is even a
nice stack of extras for a last multicolored top.
That was a lot of stitching but with a great result.
The cool of the sewing room was wonderful too.
Looking forward to another week with
fabric, family and fun!
Stay safe and sew on!
