RSC2021-random August

OK, I just did it. Chaser is a flimsy. I’ve been working on these Chaser blocks from the Scrap Mixology pattern by Cynthia Brunz as a 2020 & 2021 RSC project. I finished them & then couldn’t resist just getting them sewed together. I can’t afford to send it to the quilter right now as I need to get some gift quilts done first, but it will get done maybe beginning of next year. In the meantime, it’s a finished flimsy that I love.

I’m in the middle of so many projects & since I don’t need any more aqua blocks for my RSC projects, I’m free to get some stuff done. I trimmed 2 quilts, sewed together the binding strips here & need to get them pressed & sewed onto the quilts so I can hand sew them down.

This is an old project that is now going to be a Christmas gift. It’s a Fat Quarter Shop Sew Sampler project called The Beehive that’s been sitting in a project box forever. I loved the Corey Yoder Pepper & Flax Jolly Bar that came in the box, as well as the pattern, so soon after it came I was shop-hopping with my quilt group & picked up more of the fabric for borders & backing, plus the background fabric. So everything for a quilt has been grouped together. I decided to make a quilt for a family member, went to my boxes, found this, knew it was perfect for her, & started it last week. All that’s left now is that final yellow border. Borders are my least favorite & take forever, so I’ve been doing them along with other stuff. But it’s so cute!

And these are pumpkin blocks for Hocus Pocus by The Pattern Basket. I’m making this for me & trying to get this done to take to quilter next week along with Beehive & the charity auction Oz quilt. I have to piece backings for those. See, lots of random stuff to finish!
