The RSC22 aqua blocks are finished for February.
Also managed to make all the four patch blocks for all the shoo-fly blocks. This was on the list to do in December last year, before the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt took over.
Playing with the layout before sewing the blocks together.
Now the pile has grown, 34 blocks are done of the total of 111 shoo-fly blocks. Will continue to work on these blocks each month.
Next is a new project from a kit a that Kate,
a friend up north sent to me.
It came with a background of black fabric, the orginal photo of the kit show a cream background/backing?
Decided to change the background to show to applique of all the leaves and flowers, to a soft mint green. Traced the applique on the background, it will be easier to do the layout, everthing will be fused in place, machine appliqued with a blanket stitch.
love all your tiny blocks they are looking so good
ReplyDeleteI love how your cat is into soft colours. If I had to guess, our choc. Lab would be into lighter colours as well. LOL Meanwhile, I'm blown away by your beautiful hand stitching...so neat and tidy. And these blocks are little beauties. What immaculate work you do, Maggie!
ReplyDeleteAqua is one of my fav colours. So the shop fly blocks look very good.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying the kit. :)
It came at a time when something beautiful and peaceful was required. Busy cutting out all the pieces and fusing them to be raw edged appliqué. It is a precious gift.
DeleteThose little churn dash blocks with the 4-patches are so cute!! I'm looking forward to seeing a whole rainbow of them.
ReplyDeleteTHose are amazing blocks!!!They look complicated!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your tiny blocks in every color! That mint green will be pretty for the kit background. More spring-like than black!
ReplyDeleteAdorable little blocks! This will be a terrific quilt. Good luck with the kit, I like the background you chose.
