Plenty of red happened this week - some of it planned for RSC, and some was just accidentally the color of the month. The sewing fit in around some work hours this week.
The 2 zippered pouches using the chocolate novelty print and red polka dots were a happy accident. These were cut out and ready to sew before I knew about red for February.
This was pouch #5 from this pattern in the past couple of weeks. They are about 10" square and fully lined. I have set aside a couple more pieces of fabric that would make cute pouches. And our guild has a class going on after the meeting today to make slightly larger versions of these, but with clear vinyl fronts. I'm really looking forward to that.
Three red Zipper blocks happened. I think I'm addicted to making these fun blocks.
The Dutchman's Puzzle blocks will all have aqua, paired with the color of the month. The new red/aqua block is #4. There are 2 with green and the first one I made in 2023 has orange.
I also had this green finish on the final day of January. The 9" blocks were from the Sewcialites 2 sew-along in 2023. This was one of many layout ideas I saw online.

That chocolate print is really fun - a great happy accident for red month. Your zipper blocks look great, too. I have those on my list for the coming week.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of pairing up the color of the month with a unifying, featured, turquoise fabric in each block. Your 2023 SAL quilt is fun. I can see why you opted for that layout.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pouches. Hope you enjoyed and got something out of the guild class. You've got a good start on the RSC blocks for this month.
ReplyDeleteThose zipper blocks look fun and quick to make. A vinyl pouch will be neat so you can see what's in it at a glance. I need to make a few more of those. Better get some vinyl first. I wonder what weight your group is using?
ReplyDeleteLove that green finish!💚
ReplyDeleteThe green star quilt is just stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour pouches are so neat! I make mine with vinyl fronts, must consider just using the fabric.
