RSC25 - Week #34

Another RSC quilt is finished - quilted and bound. 
 

This is Night Vision.  I began these blocks in 2024, and finished them up earlier this year.  The 9" block is basically made with 4 Flying Geese, set around a center square half the size of the geese.  A partial seam technique was used, so they spin around that center. All of the pinwheels are made from triangle trimmings as I made the Flying Geese.


I used the lighter background geese around 2 sides, and the dark ones around the other 2 sides.  Two opposite corners are left without pinwheels.  The backing and binding makes me think of those Red Hat Society ladies - purple and red.  I really love this one, and may keep it for myself, at least for now. 

With 2 Gameboard blocks per month, there are now 16 of these on the hanger.  The blocks are 8" finished.  I'll need to keep making these, until there are enough for a baby quilt I think. 


One more Give It a Whirl block in aqua, and another aqua 4-Patch Fun joined the stacks this week.  The 4-Patch Fun blocks are starting to really add up quickly as leaders/enders. I've sewn up all of the colorful ones that I had cut from the scrap bins.  


Some purple and green ones happened this week too, in between working on a couple of "main" projects.  There are 22 of these so far.  I'm using 2" strips for these blocks, but they can be done using any size you want really. 


There are now 3 or 4 of each 2025 RSC color of the Give It a Whirl blocks too.  I think I counted 26 of them so far.  These are 8" finished.  


I've been using orphan blocks and scraps to make placemats all summer, a few at a time.  This past week I dug into a scrap bag with leftovers from a couple of fall themed projects.  Two placemats came together using 3.5" squares on the front, and a pretty leftover on the backs.

Let's see what else is happening in the RSC world . . .

That is a wonderful finish, Sara. I Love how you used the smaller blocks in the border.

It always amazes me how different a quilt can look after quilting! Congrats on the finish. You sure have been working on lots of fun and different blocks for RSC this year.
