May Rainbow Scrap Challenge

The colour for last month's rainbow scrap challenge was orange. I made some butterflies and bugs. I also added three more scrap triangles to my collection.

It is such a good way to use up scraps, and I do save even the smallest scraps.I made some more 6.5" and 4.5" scrappy blocks. I have enough 6.5" now to make a nice quilt.

Only four more coasters this time.

Lastly I made some more hearts and Easter eggs for next years cruises.

The colour for June is pastels - so I might give that a miss. Instead I will start sewing some butterfly blocks together ans my leaders and enders for the next project. 

Today I will iron and trim all the above and tidy up the sewing room in readiness for my next project - which may be another triangle quilt.

Solstice - A Make Modern Triangle Quilt

This will be the third quilt I have made using Bryan House Quilts Make Modern Triangles. The first one used only one block and I made a lap quilt. The second one was a block of the month quilt and I made a double bed quilt from a pattern called Echo, also from Bryan House Quilts. This one I made as time would allow me, and I really had fun doing it. This is part one. I used the freezer paper method to paper piece each block. 

Part two.

Part three.

Part four.

Part five 

Last part

Now all that was left was the background to make it fit a queen bed.

I still need to add borders to the sides to allow for hang over.

Fussy/Focus Cutting EPP's

I am not doing all the Focus Cutting Sew-along blocks this year, mainly because now we are not travelling as much I don't have as much time to hand stitch, and I am using fabric I already have. With that said, I do have a few blocks that I have made the past few months. Above sunflowers block was from week 5. The theme for the month of February was yellow, and this was the motif block. 

Week 6 block was obscure sections - not too obscure.

Week 7 was matching, so I made a block with a yellow sewing machine.

March was orange, and also when we went cruising - so no orange blocks.

April was pink and I have a few blocks cut out, but only finished one - Week 15 - matching, while I had the machine fabric out.

May colour is red and I have yet to finish my red blocks. The past two weeks I have been working on a Modern Triangle Quilt top, which I should finish this coming week.
