RSC2024-orange August week 3

I dug into my previously cut pile of 2.5″ squares to produce 4 rail fence blocks. These are fun sewing & I’m thinking about a quilt layout. Rainbow order or mixed up? Sew the 4 of each color into a block with sashing surrounding? Hmmm.

And the design wall at the end of the day Friday shows 8 wonky FPP Lori Holt hearts on the right in 2 shades of orange, with some blue & green 2024 Leader & Ender Challenge: County Clare blocks from Bonnie Hunter. On the left are Patchwork Hearts by Quilty Love. I made a plan at the beginning of the year of how I wanted the rainbow to flow down the quilt, so there are 3 coral, 2 peach, & 4 orange hearts this month, thus running the gamut of orange. The scrappy block on the far left is a test block of Ocean Waves from The Little Mushroom Cap using leftover HST’s trimmed into 2″ squares. I watched her class at the recent Scrap Summit & thought it would be a great way to slowly use up my piles of cut-off HST’s. I like it & think it will stick around. Look for a quilt in a couple years!

Tula Pink 100 Modern Quilt Blocks-Sliding Scale got to the flimsy stage this week & to the quilter, so I’m very, very happy to have another RSC2022 project almost done.
