I have the rows sewn using the Night Vision blocks I've been making for RSC in 2024 and 2025. Next week I'll hopefully get those rows assembled to make the center of the quilt. I'm excited about this one.
Lots of green came out to play this week.
The Gameboard blocks take more time to search for the right scraps than they do to sew. There are now 2 each of the 5 RSC colors we've used so far in 2025.
Why wait for 2026 to add a new block to the mix now that Night Vision is in the assembly stage? Last week's Riley Blake Design challenge block was Give It a Whirl by Melissa Mortenson, and I loved it.

I adjusted the sizes to use leftover charm squares and other scraps for RSC blocks. It is such a fast, easy block! Before I knew it I had 3 green blocks sewn.

Next I made 2 pink ones the next day, because I just couldn't resist. And because I had pink charm squares to play with and plenty of white strips for background.
And then blue and yellow happened during the week too. So far I have 10 of these blocks made. I'm looking forward to adding more in lots of other colors.
The summer wall hanging I've been working on with the sunflower blocks has 4 leaf sections and I got those done this week. Lots of green in those!! And lots of little corners to sew. Next up are the center and border made of 5" squares.
The Spinning Hexie was inspired last week by Leanna at Not Afraid of Color, and became my hand stitching project this week. It was much easier to do than that Moravian Star, but the technique is pretty similar. For now I have no idea what I want to do with it, however it was fun and satisfying to make.
Green binding was prepped for a table runner. This was a recent kit purchase, and it will NOT become a PIG, laying in a drawer waiting. I think it will make a good gift.
The last green thing I worked on this week was cutting the pieces for the next Saturday Sampler assignment. This month we're making 2 narrow rows instead of 1 row. And the accent color I'm using is a lime green. There will be 15 of these "floating" square-in-a-square blocks in each of the 2 rows. That should keep me busy next week.
Let's see what else is happening with RSC . . .

I love that hexie project
LOVE all your greens and your RSC 26 - I have a feeling its going to be finished in 25 haha!! Lovely blocks!
You have a lot of great projects going on, Sara! Your green gameboard blocks are inspiring me to go back and add the sides to my 16 patches. I really like those whirly blocks and the hexie swirls from LeeAnna, too. So many fun things to try!
Wowee you got a lot of projects done! Those new blocks are so fun, before long you will have enough for a whole quilt!
Beautiful. I love ❤️ all the 💚 greens.
Great progress in your sewing room this week, Sara!
You sure kept your sewing machine going. Lots of lovelies to look at. RSC2026 is bumping up other projects to become RSC2025, too funny. But I can relate. When we find a block we love to make, why wait? Go girl and enjoy it. ;^)
Lots of green projects! Such a great colour for spring. Those gameboard and give it a whirl blocks are going to make fun quilts. Good thing we never seem to run out of scraps! Gail at the cozy quilter
You definitely made the most of your green scraps this month (and a few other colors too). Your spinning hexie block turned out really cool.
