A UFO is finally finished!
Rainbow Connections was an RSC project made with string sections. I had this one done to flimsy stage, but then decided to make it larger. Now this quilt is twin bed sized and will be donated locally to Sleep In Heavenly Peace. The binding on this one took forever to finish as I kept setting it aside.
Night Vision in aqua - now that is a pretty color paired up with black and white.
One chunk of aqua worked well to make a Kitty block, and for the Churn Dash block with the 16 patch centers.
And one other aqua - this one quite dark - was just right for making another of each of those blocks. Both sets of blocks are nearing the point of having enough for a quilt top, so hopefully by the end of this year I'll be assembling 2 more RSC quilts.
And finally for this week's RSC sewing - one Brighten block, and one Loose Goose (3-D).
The center of this block is aqua. I just HAD to play along with Carol Doak's latest paper pieced block sew-along. This is block #1, although I haven't decided whether or not to make them each month. But if I do make more I will continue with vibrant colors along with that black print on the edges.
I'm out the door this morning to meet up with family at the Farmer's Market in Sioux Falls, and then possibly the zoo afterwards. Both sons-in-law are coming here today to play golf. We'll probably pass at some point on the highway as I head east and they come west.
I'm linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge today . . .

The rainbow is grand! Super paperpieced block. Have a good weekend!
Hooray for a finish! And those Night Vision blocks definitely do look great in aqua with the black and white prints! Fun to see everything you've been working on, Sara. Have a wonderful day with the family!
Well, I went down the rabbit hole after reading your post. I hadn't realized Carol Doak has a SAL. I have fond memories of when she came to my guild, must be at least 25 years ago. I've been PP ever since.
You have the most stunning aqua fabric. They look great in whatever block you use them in.
Someone is going to win the lottery when they receive you RSC quilt.
Congrats on your Rainbow Connection quilt finish, Sara, and a fabulous start on AQUA month!!
