It's Saturday Sampler and Sew Vintage day today, so basically my favorite Saturday of every month. I told my husband he would need to find another date for the Jackrabbit basketball game today. He's taking a friend from high school days, and I'm hanging out with quilters all day. I think it was a good choice on my part.
My main blue focus this week was getting 2 UFO projects to the flimsy stage, which I'll share below. But I did work on some other blocks for RSC. These are Churn Dash blocks to add to the baby quilt stack I've been working on. I actually have enough of the pale blue and the grey rockets/solar system print for a whole baby quilt - added to my Some Day list.
Two blue Gameboard blocks joined the pink ones. However, I noticed that the 16-patch center of the light blue one is turned differently than the others. I'll fix it but not today.
But there were a LOT of blue Buckeye Beauty blocks sewn this week. There is a total of 40 of them in these stacks, pinned into groups of 10 based on color placement. There are 6 of them on the design board, cut out but not sewn yet. Since these blocks finish at 8", it will take quite a few more to make a Quilt of Valor.
UFO #1 that reached the flimsy stage this week is Twinkler. The blue and white blocks were made in 2024. It feels good to have this one ready to quilt.
And UFO #2 to reach the flimsy stage is this Quick Strippee baby quilt. It's about 40 x 56, and has been kitted up in a project box for over a year. Now it's ready to quilt too.
There are 2 different blue fabrics in the BOM Circle of Friends block for February. This is block #8 of 12 from Carol Doak.
I'm linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge . . .
