Yikes!! We're halfway through the year already, and halfway through summer too.
The Chaser blocks all came together this week, and are now a completed flimsy. These were a great RSC block, inspired by a blogger's post for RSC in 2023. They can be made with any size squares, but I had lots of 2.5" squares already cut from scraps, so that's what I used. The quilt top is 40 x 56 as is, which would be OK for a kid quilt. But I might decide to make it bigger with a border, or maybe add another row of blocks down one side to make it slightly wider. In the meantime it's hanging in the closet, waiting for it's turn.
The Fat Quarter Shop 2024 Liberty Box project is done now except for the 2.5" border I'm adding all around. The pattern called for a 5" white border, but I decided to do a narrower white border. My photo outside isn't very good as the sky was so grey and overcast, but the blues are a soft medium blue. This will make a nice Quilt of Valor I think - but for a female veteran since there are flowers in that panel.
Bear Creek Quilting is hosting a mystery quilt, and I just couldn't resist jumping in on it. The instructions gave yardage for 1 print, and a light and dark of 2 different colors. The first month's clue was 4 blocks (12.5") made with the print and the 2 darker shades of the colors we chose. There is a lighter blue/teal and a creamy light gold that I'll be using in this too. My blues lean toward teal a bit. I don't need any new projects of course, but this is only 1 clue per month so it should quite manageable.

The Chaser blocks went together nicely, very colorful. The QOV looks great even if the colors aren't quite true. Happy stitching this weekend.
Looks like you've gotten a lot done this week, Sarah! I love the Chaser top - such great color. And Sweet Land of Liberty is pretty, too - I really like that shade of blue! Have fun with your new project - it looks fun!
New projects are always so tempting. Seems fair to add a new project to the list when you have a finish to share though. The QOV is so pretty.
loving the rsc project...
The woven effect you get from the chaser block layout is so much fun. The perfect RSC project. Love how you combined fabrics for the mystery quilt. This will definitely be a winner.
Nice Quilt of Valor for a lady Veteran for sure!
