One more set of RSC blocks has become a finished quilt top this week. And this one is an example of Design As You Sew.
Triple Triangle began with a set of small string triangle blocks. Changing my plan for the layout of these blocks happened midway through making them, with the new plan becoming sets of 3 framed with black and white prints. The blue sashing brightens up the whole thing, and this week I added that black and white print border. It is 58 x 66.
String blocks in this lighter shades of month's colors made a really good relief from my other sewing this week as I was mostly focused on red/white/blue projects and a nearly all-blue project. When I got bored with those colors I would add a green string block to the mix.
Light blue string blocks happened too. Again, these were a nice switch from those deeper shades of blue.
One light blue Brighten block was added to the collection. This is the next set of RSC blocks that I plan to begin assembling into a top. I have a plan for a simple staggered layout and hope to work on that layout over the weekend.
And I played a little bit with some 1.5" strips to make these log cabin blocks. There is no actual plan for these yet, but they were fun to make. Maybe if I make one more these could be the center of a new doll quilt.
Let's see what else is happening in the RSC world . . .
thru the annual "Stay at Home Round Robin" that starts every January, I've learned that 'design as you go' works very well for me .
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful blocks. I love all of them! Your flying geese blocks really came together sweetly. The border sure made it a great size. Have a good week and we'll see what you get done with your Brighten blocks this week!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the variety of blocks you've made and added to! The triple triangle is a real eye-catcher!
ReplyDeleteLots of fun scrappiness going on in your sewing room! I like how you set the Triple Triangle!
ReplyDeletePretty blocks especially the green ones!
ReplyDeleteI love your little quilt finish! We’re experienced enough quilters by now that an improv layout is something we can make work out. And you did it so delightfully! I love your string blocks too!
ReplyDeleteYour Triple Triangle blocks are awesome. I like the bright light blue you used as sashing between the triangle blocks. You got a lot of sewing this week.
ReplyDeleteTriple Triangle looks like a pattern to be published! Your RSC projects are coming along well.
