Reds.

January is already halfway done. Needless to say I have not jumped in and worked on all my red blocks. Above are the shoo-fly blocks for Omygosh. Some blocks will have a red square and others will have another colour. Have quite a lot of red blocks, which was discovered when all the triangle square blocks was sorted into groups of four for each block.
Finding the way will be my second RSC22 project. It has three rounds of triangle squares in every colour. This one will be called "Groundhog Day", as it will be the second time I will be making this pattern. With the first one, the fabric was all earmarked for that quilt and all the fabrics got cut into squares. Once the quilt was made, a count was done of the leftover squares and it turned out there are enough for a second quilt.
Since the start of January the sorting and the tidy up of the sewing room yielded another group of fabrics from fat eight bundles, reds, blues, creams all in the same colour families. Some with stars, dots, florals, geometric shapes and paisleys. For now they will be sewn into triangle squares, not too sure how far what I have will go towards a fullsize quilt.
The mystery quilt part eight was released on friday, so it will be worked on and assembled a little bit everyday until the top is done.
All the parts we made and some which had to wait for the mystery quilt reveal by Bonnie Hunter.
It has been a slow start and it is a much better start to the year. Perfect for the cold weather our side, we woke up to -32C!
