RSC Orange Makes for the Month of June

Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for June was orange. I usually use the scrap challenge as my leaders and enders but last month I was trying to finish the borders for Quiltville Old Town, so didn't use a lot of orange scraps. I did start some scrap squares, and finish one drink coaster and make a Barbie doll quilt. I used leftover cut off half square triangles for the doll quilt. I also made a Modern Triangle placemat - also pictured last month.

July colour is purple, and I still have my purples out for the fairy quilt, so easy.

Slow Week - Not Really

I try to spend at least 2 half days and 3 full days a week in the sewing room and this week started with an extra day - woo hoo! But all good plans...... both granddaughters were 'sick' on one of the full days, so I never got downstairs.

I did a little bit of hand stitching, and above is block 22 of the Focus Cutting Sew Along - K is for koala, and the stitching was matching. Matching is not my favourite and I have been skipping this prompt, but the fabric I had was pretty easy to match. I also attached 5 finished blocks to the lap quilt from 2023 Focus Cutting quilt - slow going but it will get finished eventually. Should have taken a photo! 

I also finished a placemat using the Modern Triangles pattern. This (obviously) wont be going in the purple and teal modern triangle quilt - Echo. I do like the shape though and will probably make a set - in different colours. They would be perfect for a  round table.

However, I did do a lot of sewing when I was in the sewing room. 'Between the Lines' has all its borders on now, and 'Old Town' has two sides of its 3 borders to go. Why didn't I take photos - I thought about it at the time. So I am happy with what I accomplished this past week, fingers crossed next week will be the same .... but it is school holidays!

Moda Blockheads Update

For Moda Blockheads 6, I'm not making one big quilt - I will be making a few different sewing projects. I posted block 1 - Regatta a few weeks ago, and above is block 2 - Crossroads designed by Lynn Hagmeier of Kansas Troubles Quilters. These two and more are going in a photo wall-hanging for our stairwell. The second set of blocks are going around a fairy panel.

This panel is called Enchanted Fairy Panel. I used the colour panel on the selvedge to chose the colours for the blocks. 

I made my second block 1- Regatta by Vanessa Christenson, in a different way using some of these colours.

 

I don't think I will use this block as the light blue is too light, and I don't think it really goes with the panel - but we will see.

Block 2, Crossroads second block is better.

Putting the two blocks together one can see how block 1 really doesn't match.

So I made the other blocks darker to match the panel. I made another block 1 in an alternative design that I liked.

Block 3, Sunday Best designed by Ann Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs

Today I finished block 4, Cats Cradle by Kiley Ferons of Kiley’s Quilt Room. (Sorry I can't link as my firewall would not let me - Google it). A beautiful block and I will make another one in a different layout, but I had so much trouble with the rectangle blocks. Apparently there is a special ruler that would make it easier, so I'll have to try and find one. 

That's it for this week. I am going to try and finish one top next week and hopefully also quilt it.
