One more RSC quilt top is currently in the hands of a quilter, so there will be some binding to do in a week or so.
This is one of 3 quilts I've made with the 12" and 6" churn dash blocks. Each of the blocks contains a novelty print paired with a solid color. Such fun blocks to make. They began with making these blocks for a guild baby quilt project, and I just got carried away and couldn't stop making them. It will make a good donation quilt.
Since my machine was already threaded with black for another project, this was the perfect RSC set of blocks to pull out to work on yesterday. These Dresden Plate blocks will have black blanket stitching around the edges of the blades and that corner. I got 9 of them stitched down before running out of bobbin thread. Once I have a couple more bobbins wound I'll get back to the blanket stitching.
I made quite a few of these Dresden Plate Fan blocks the first few months for RSC, but then they were mostly neglected - probably because I had too many block sets going at the same time. Also, the blocks were not hanging in the closet like the other current blocks, but were in the project box with the grey background and the black for the corners. A few loose random blades were in the box too. But no green, orange, or purple Dresden blades had been cut, so those colors need some attention.
Maybe I can finish the blocks by the end of 2025. According to the notes I left in the project box with the blocks, my plan was to make 3 blocks in 8 different colors and lay them out on point. I guess we'll see what happens, right?
What other fun projects are happening in the RSC world?
