I haven't even looked at my orange bin filled with selvedges. To get my orange blocks made this week, I just cut 5 1/8" strips from my fat quarters. I will be able to make half of my blocks from these strips. The rest of my blocks are made with selvedges and narrow strips.
My first blocks this week were Jacobs Ladder. These blocks will be very scrappy 4 patches, constant neutral background and the RSC color of the month. I really like how these look so far! I started these last month, so I still have to make my browns and blues.
Next up was the Pinwheel blocks.
I even have a flimsy to show!! I started these Rainbow Twist blocks for the RSC 2016, but had to put them on the fast track and get them into a quilt ASAP!! I only needed 20 blocks. Woohoo!! So they are now a top and I will get it sandwiched next week and start quilting!! It will raffled off next year at Mountain View M. S. in Beaverton, Oregon. This pic was taken before I sewed the blocks! It is already pretty big, so I will not add borders.
I did get another top finished, but I will not be sharing any info or pics until AFTER it is gifted!! Sorry for the tease.
Hope you check out
SoScrappy for more Orange RSC projects in the works!
...............Sew till next time...................
