Still stuck on red, white, and blue

 Yup - I'm still working on red, white, and blue.  I had 3 sets of Quilt of Valor blocks going on this summer - or 4 if I could the Moda Blockheads blocks.  It was time to get those block sets finished and assembled into tops so I can clear off some workspace again for new projects.


The Spools top and the Rails & Stars top were finished in August.  I really like how both of these came together.  


Next up. . . is Ribbon, by Alycia.  I had a good start on the blocks in August, but finished the last few blocks on Wednesday this week.  I chose to do these scrappy - with a variety of white-on-white backgrounds, and different blues and reds.  I'm excited to begin laying these out today and hopefully pinned into rows.


Here is this week's Blockheads block - #16.  It's Cloud Nine by Debbie Maddy.  There is only 1 of this particular block.  The blocks this year have been 3 different sizes.  Most blocks have been 9" finished, but there was 1 finishing at 27", and so far a couple that are 18".  Sometimes the 9" blocks have said to make 2, and sometimes like this week, just 1. 

I'm linking up with Finished Or Not Friday!!

I like that you mixed in yellow in the spools top as it says patriotic but doesn't scream it. Cleaning up the area and getting ready for new projects sounds so good!

Nice! Red white and blue is perfect for this week.

The quilt tops turned out beautifully. You've definitely been on a roll with these RWB projects too. Looks like you will be ending the year with a few finishes.

Great progress on your QOVs! Alycia's Ribbon design is gorgeous - I think scrappy is perfect for it!

I really like that last block head block - I am thinking it would be a super cool RSC one too!
