I don't want to jinx myself for the rest of the year, but if I can keep up the sewing pace I set in January, I'll get all my goals accomplished! Hahaha - who am I fooling?!
I experimented with a couple of potential new Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks, but in the end decided this was not the time to start a new RSC project. That may change as the year goes on, but for now I'm going to attempt to finish some RSC UFOs before I tackle something new.
The Antique Tiles block is a carry-over from 2021. These three blocks feature January's RSC color: red. I don't have an entire rainbow's worth of these blocks yet, so I'll keep adding to the collection as the year goes on.
While we're talking Rainbow Scrap Challenge:
I just finished stitching this RSC project which features Bonnie Hunter's Easy Breezy block. I put an audiobook on my phone and plowed through the stitching in about three days. That's 143 blocks; finished size 66" x 78". I'll definitely be sending this to the "spa" (Pat Sloan's term for sending a quilt to the longarm quilter), and ultimately gifting it.
And since we all need to have the hope of Spring, I offer a Mary Engelbreit garden-themed panel quilt kit. Forgive the crazy indoor picture - this is another Dear Hubby-made quilt hanger in our hallway. It's a great location for displaying quilts, but not great for taking pictures. I finished hand-stitching the binding on this, but was afraid to wash the quilt. So - the edges are a little wavy. I'll have to figure out what I want to do about that.

Well, second try here. I love your ME quilt and Diane’s quilting! I didn’t know ME was still around. Anyway, your Easy Breezy flimsy is really cute! It’s been my favorite of all her recent years’ challenges.
ReplyDeleteEasy Breezy is such a lovely finish!! And that ME panel is really beautiful--nice work...hugs from under 20" of snow!! Julierose ;000
ReplyDeleteThe Mary E quilt is so sweet, perfect for all of us who are wishing for spring through the snowstorms. Easy Breezy blocks made a lovely quilt top too. I don't have the patience to stitch a coordinated set of L&E's but it certainly does pay off for those who have perseverance!
ReplyDeleteEasy Breezy is such a pretty quilt and it finished at a nice size. I used to love all things ME. I'll have to find her on IG. Like Cathy (above comment), I didn't know she was still around either.
ReplyDeleteLove your ME quilt along with Diana's quilting. I recognize all those fabrics. Your rainbow Easy Breezy quilt is beautiful. Finishing it up was worth the 3 days of hard sewing. How many rainbow quilts have you made?
