Starry Nights

 It's been a busy week with 

stitching, family and lots going on.

A bit of progress was made on the

new mystery quilt at Conquering Mount scrapmore.

Only four more colours to stitch to finish up step 1.


Another batch of triangles were stitched up

on the way to stitching up some colour 

family blocks for another top from the Discovery table.



I even managed to finish up The Starry Nights quilt top.



Stitching late at night is always fun 

but it comes with a few hazards.

The quilt was so pretty I had to show it off to my husband.

While doing so I discovered this problem.

Can you see it? I see a few minutes with 

my favourite ripping tool ahead!

It is still very attractive but that one error needs to come out.

I also don't like the light background in the star block 

(lower right side) , so that may come out too. 

My  reserve of Wonky pointed stars 

has been diminished immensely.

They will be good to make on a stormy evening this spring.

RSC Plan Finally!

It's already March and I finally have a

 Rainbow Scrap Challenge plan ready.

Some blocks from the discovery table,

were the inspiration.

The first stop for the RSC is 

this colour family strip quilt.

Each block is made up of three columns 12 1/2 "

long by 4 1/2 "cut wide.

Only five blocks needed to be made to finish up this top.


The blocks just need to be stitched together. 

The challenge will begin with the next quilts.

The first will be very similar to this but

 with each block only two 

columns wide but still 12 1/2" long.

That will make nice chunks of colours 

arranged in a similar fashion as the first.

Then I will do a classic step down and 

make the next one only 1 column wide. 

It will really scrap up the top!  

I have lots of scraps to use up!

They will be great projects 

to stitch while my Big Bernina 

is visiting Mr. Fixit.

Have a great time with those rainbow colours. 

Anyone else joining the Mount Scrapmore challenge?
