RSC2021-August week 3 with some aqua

I finished “I Love California” this week. It has an aqua ocean, backing & binding, so I’m in the monthly color. The pattern has the state done in scrappy yellows, but I printed a Google Earth image of the state & pieced how it looks from space, with the forest moving into the desert areas. It is for my daughter-in-law’s birthday next month, with a heart on LA, where she grew up.

These are the blocks for Week 3 of the Clear Sky Quilt Along with Andy Knowlton of A Bright Corner. The middle one uses some ombre fabric which gives it an interesting vibe. Hope it looks OK in the finished quilt. They are in the color of the month, so yay for that!

These are my final blocks for the July-August Covered in Love block drive. I made 19 & I’m going to send them off. The Friendship Star is from the Fabric Stash Blocks in Oct/Nov QUILT Magazine, Issue #93 but I can’t get the website to load & get a link. (eye roll) The red & white star-in-star is from Week 2 of the Clear Sky QAL. I thought it was a cute block & would work great for the charity drive. The lower left is another from Pat Sloan’s A Flower Bouquet free sew along. This one is Block #8-Geraniums. (Apparently Pat recycles her blocks because I just realized while looking at them all together, that the first block I made last month for this drive is the same block but from a different sew along! LOL) The red 4-patch center comes from MaryQuilts.com.
