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.

2026 Focus Cutting Sew Along

This year Naomi's Focuscutting Sewalong focus is the square. I wasn't sure if I would do it or not..... but I love hand stitching so.......

I keep tossing up between making curtains or something else. I guess when a I have a number of blocks I will decide.

Week one above is motif. The theme for the first 4 weeks is the colour white or cream. The can be background or focus. At present I'm using one and a half inch blocks, but may change that depending on the fabric. 4 blocks make a 4-patch. Week 2 was obscure sections. I 'cheated' and used a striped pattern to make the block - my block my rules, right 😆!

Week 3 was matching. I usually don't like the matching as I think it wastes too much fabric and it's REALLY hard.

 I still missed one section.
  
Week 4 was freestyle so I made another motif block.

Fairy Quilt - My First Finish of the Year

Finally finished the 'fairy quilt'. My first finish for the year.

I purchased the lovely fairy panel at a quilt shop in Towoomba many, many years ago and last year when trying to think of what colours to use to make the 2025 Moda Blockheads I came across the panel and decided to make some blocks purple to go with the panel.

I made 12 blocks in total and added a strip of purple stipes to the top.

For the backing I used a Tinkerbell blanket that I purchased, also years ago, that I hadn't used yet.
