Scrappy progress - Tulip Time & more

 It's always exciting to reach the stage with my RSC blocks when I have enough for a quilt.  That is where Tulip Time is at this month finally.  Actually I have 40 of these 13" blocks, so there will be 4 of them left over, as I've decided that 6 x 6 will work the best.  

This photo doesn't do justice to the bright cheery colors in these blocks, and the sashing is almost lime green in reality.  Plus - I took the photo before getting the last few blocks sashed, so there will be another vertical row.  These Tulip Time blocks were a Bonnie Hunter pattern from several years ago in Quiltmaker magazine, originally called Blossom Time I think.  They are awesome blocks for scraps because the largest piece needed for an individual tulip is a 2.5" square.

Pillow shams maybe will happen with the extras.  Or possibly they will be "seed" for another quilt.  Who knows what will happen with those extra blocks.  


Sashing the Tulip Time quilt blocks, and putting borders on 2 other quilts were my main focus this week, but I did play with purple a little bit.  This purple elephant joined the herd.  And two more - with polka dots -in other colors happened too.

    I like the way your blossom time blocks look - I was thinking 5 x7 and I am getting close.
