My Second Finish for the Year

Had a couple of weeks on another relaxing adventure, didn't even do any hand stitching.

Back now and I finally finished quilting Lupines and Laughter quilt, designed by Bonnie Hunter.

I decided to use orphan blocks as the backing, but don't think I will use so many next time. I've used spare blocks from quilts to join two pieces of fabric for the backing previously, and that was much easier. Some of the blocks were left overs, some were from projects I didn't finish. The purple blocks were for a quilt I was making for a good friend, who sadly, suddenly passed, before I had finished. I'm happy to include them in this quilt as it will live on our bed. 

Anyway, I made a big dent in my ophan blocks box.

A Little Easter Sewing

With Easter only a few weeks away I thought I would make some Easter egg bunting. Using a template, I cut out the backing and the batting. I have a bag of scrap batting off cuts that I use for small sewing.

I think the backs look as good as the fronts.

I started by making some single colours and then decided to make them more coulorful. I might even embellish them.

I made them as leaders and enders - along with some red scraps items - while sewing the orphan block backing for a quilt.

February RSC - Green

Away on a cruise adventure last week....

....so this is what I've been working on: -

Rainbow Scrap Challenge - hosted by So Scrappy

colour for February was green. 

I missed January colour, it was blue, but I did a few bluey things as I has blue scraps already out.

With the green, I did three more triangles for the 'random' triangle quilt/table topper/whatever 😊. 

Added to my coaster stash

Made some more 6.5inch squares

I think I have enough to make a scrappy quilt now.

 

I made a couple more pineapples - not sure what I will do with them.  

The colour for March is red. 

I'm still working on the orphan block backing for Lupine and Laughter, will be using the reds for leaders and enders this month.
