It's always exciting to reach the stage with my RSC blocks when I have enough for a quilt. That is where Tulip Time is at this month finally. Actually I have 40 of these 13" blocks, so there will be 4 of them left over, as I've decided that 6 x 6 will work the best.
This photo doesn't do justice to the bright cheery colors in these blocks, and the sashing is almost lime green in reality. Plus - I took the photo before getting the last few blocks sashed, so there will be another vertical row. These Tulip Time blocks were a Bonnie Hunter pattern from several years ago in Quiltmaker magazine, originally called Blossom Time I think. They are awesome blocks for scraps because the largest piece needed for an individual tulip is a 2.5" square.
Pillow shams maybe will happen with the extras. Or possibly they will be "seed" for another quilt. Who knows what will happen with those extra blocks.
