First up - some Sugar Bowl blocks and random scrappy 4-patches.
I'm adding to my collection of Sugar Bowl blocks this year - making two additional blocks in each of the rainbow colors. I have a final layout planned once I finish all the needed blocks.
The RSC Tiny Tuesday blocks have been a fun diversion during the week! These wrap up the yellow scraps from last month, along with more random 4-patches. I still haven't decided on a setting fabric for the TT blocks. I'd love to find the perfect multi-color fabric, 'cuz I'm kinda bored with using white.
Believe it or not, this Postcard Quilt was inspired by the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I started it in April of 2017 and put the final stitches in it last week. The inspiration was multi-colored scraps, which got me looking through my collection of flamingo fabrics. The top went together quickly, but languished for lack of quilting.
I decided it was time to try some of the built-in quilting stitches on my sewing machine, so I layered things up and went to work. I used this wavy quilting pattern to mimic postal cancelation marks on the postcard "backs".
For the postcards themselves, I improvised with free-motion quilting around the motifs on the fabrics. This isn't a great picture of the quilting, but I guess it gives you the idea!
I even made a flamingo postcard label!
As always, there is more scrappy inspiration at the weekly Rainbow Scrap linky party!
