I've had a LOT of fun this month using red. I didn't make all of my usual RSC blocks in red, but I did use up a lot of red in other projects in May.
My focus really ended up mostly on patriotic projects with a quilt top completed for our Quilt of Valor group, a table runner, and a good start on a second quilt for Quilts of Valor. I did make the Country Bunny and the Home Is blocks in red. And I made a couple of Roll On blocks in red. One of the pillowcases made this month is even Spiderman red, and one of the Saturday Sampler blocks had a lot of red. There was also quite a bit of red in the Rectangles quilt top.
This week alone I made 24 Boxed Squares blocks. That brings the total up to 50 blocks out of the 90 I think I'll need for a quilt top. These will probably be an "all summer" kind of project until I have enough for the quilt top. There are a LOT of different prints here, so I'm planning to make plenty of them with more fabrics that read closer to solid to tone down the whole thing just a little bit.
I'm linking up with the RSC group today. And I can't wait to see what color we are doing in June.

I like your boxed squares; will you use only red, white and blue fabrics?
ReplyDeleteLots of progress! Those boxed squares will be a quilt in no time at this rate. Have a good-- if somewhat damp-- weekend!
