These are the RSC15 blocks I have been working on this month.
The Scrappy Rail Fences represent all the strips I could eke out of these scraps; the bottom crosses will be part of a rainbow smallish quilt--3 each in the color of the month;
And....I added the cute cat heads -- I will be making 2 each month;
and the little really (!!) crumbley strips (4 each month.) with leftovers from that month's colors--how they will be used is still a mystery to me, but hate to toss those little baby pieces...;--)))
(note that one block is turned the wrong way!! )
The cat pattern is from a free online tutorial from:
Elizabeth Hartman's blog which she posted a while back. These will also be a rainbow piece.
Kitties make me smile and this will be a homage to my dear kitty Schumee who passed away after 19 (yes, NINETEEN) happy years with us.
Hugs to you all, Julierose, La Blageuse
P.S. i am taking a few days off from posting to try to once again RE-ORGANIZE MY ROOM.... need to re-fold fabrics to FIT on my shelves so that I can thumb through them and see what I have...since I will Only be using
the fabric ;---00000
in my stash this year, I feel I HAVE to do this...so far, no purchases...and it's almost 1/2 way through January--some kind of record for moi! ;---))
so so pretty. love your January blues my friend.........
ReplyDeleteLove your blues and really admire your self control! Way to go!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think you have the prettiest scraps I've ever seen! I plan on doing a scrap project also. Just trying to find the best one!
ReplyDeleteNous avons perdu notre amour de chatte il y a deux années ! Elle avait 18 ans !! Tes blocs sont très beaux et tu progresses bien !Gros bisous LulieRose et bon rangement !!
ReplyDeleteOn veut une photo avant/après !! LOL !
Beautiful scrappy blue blocks - you've gotten a lot sewn already!
ReplyDeleteWishing you great success with re-organizing your sewing room.
Your design wall of blues is looking oh so productive, Julierose!
ReplyDeleteHave fun organizing your sewing room. You may find fabric you forgot you had!
ReplyDeleteWant to come organize my stash? I have smallish tubs on shelves in my closet ... I sort by color and everything is just dumped into the tub. I can't find anything when I go looking. See you when you get back!
ReplyDeleteI can relate--I spent yesterday cleaning and could use a few more days too. The cat head quilt is going to be a fun one!
ReplyDeleteSweet blocks. I do not envy you and your task. It took me almost a month last year to get semi organized. Now to work on my scraps.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the reorganizing. I've got boxes of colors, and when I want red I just dig through the red box. (Boxes are thanks to the move - in CA it was okay to use plastic tubs, but here in WA it's better to use paper, I think. It's so damp everywhere. Plastic would just keep everything too damp.) Anyway, it's a good enough system for me. I'd rather sew than refold and iron.
ReplyDeleteDon't take too long on your project. We will miss you.
Hugs
Such pretty blocks! I looked at those cats for RSC15... One day I am going to make them. For sure!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! What a wonderful challenge to only use stash fabrics.:)
ReplyDeletenice blue projects for January!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely goodies there Julierose. I have been using only stash for a year, with the qualifier that I have bought backings and the occasional border fabric. Sadly, I can't really report an increase in drawer space. :( I have therefore decided since I don't seem to have made a dent in the stash I might as well augment it this year as and when I see fit :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely array of blues. Those little crosses are adorable. I'm trying not to buy too. But I'm a coupon sucker! And I'm old enough for those senior discounts!
ReplyDeleteCat heads! What a great idea. That way they can't get in too much trouble. And have fun reorganizing your stash...I always seem to find fabric that I've never seen before.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blue projects.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! The little crosses are super cute.
ReplyDeleteso admirable to be using stash only! And just look at the resulting lovelies. Keep at it! And enjoy being reacquainted with your stash.
ReplyDeleteA lovely wall of wonderful blue blocks!
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely to be admired - organizing stash and not buying anything new! Great job using up all the bits and little bits. Some great projects in the works.
ReplyDeleteI wish you speedy work resorting! I'm aiming for all of my fabric to fit in my binds, and until it does, I'm not buying (I hope!).
ReplyDeleteGood Luck on the reorganizing - I worked on some of that thisbreak too - it surprises me what i stash away lol
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks! Love the blue kitties. Seems that when we work so hard, those rooms would reorganize themselves. I spend far too much time organizing :-((
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! I looked ahead and saw your area all reorganized. Awesome.
