First up, a finish of an RSC2020 quilt: Sand Castles by Bonnie Hunter. It’s my first BH quilt & I like how it turned out. It started out as an L&E project, then turned into a project to work on with the month’s color last year. I love the strippy border, & used a tan ombre for the binding. It looks so subtly cool that it might be my new fav binding option. This is a gift for this Christmas. (photo taken in front of our shed, on which my hubby painted a quilt block for me!)
I got an aqua & a light blue friendship star block done this week, with thanks to Deb A. for the inspiration. I’m making 2 each month.
I know, these aren’t aqua, but I got those done last week, & there’s 16 blues to do in the pattern. They are light & dark blue combined, so I’m in the light blue wheelhouse. Only red, purple, & orange blocks left for this King-size Irish Chain quilt using the tutorial from Melissa Corry. So happy to be getting these done. The middle two seams are pressed open & that takes forever, so it’s an accomplishment to see all those blocks on my design wall!
With two weeks left in the month, I think I can get my other projects moved along, although there’s so much going on here currently, it’s been tough to eke out sewing time. We’ll see what next week brings!
Congrats on your fabulous RSC Sandcastle quilt finish!! Nice work on getting those BLUE blocks done, too.
Your Sandcastles quilt is beautiful! I love the way you laid out the colors. That one is definitely on my list to make!
Congrats on your finished quilt it is beautiful, Sue.
Love your blue blocks, specially the friendship stars.
Happy weekend.
