GREEN DAYS

I call this my "Christmas Cactus":  This is ONE block:  waaay too many pieces for me.  As you can well see, too many points will be cut off when I add borders.  (The original plan was to make a whole lap quilt--some 144 of those little flowers--hah!) That plan exploded!!! Now it is to be a Christmas Medallion wallhanging for my entryway.  

Here is the next phase--more green--borders......




AND: then:

I felt it was too dark--so added these little bands of white with green

AND: Now it languishes on my wall...like this:

I added the rest of those string blocks plus little scraps of red from those points (well, they WERE points to begin with anyway) and am rearranging, trimming, and measuring....and so it stands for now. (Not yet sewn together just pinned there--waiting...)

In the meantime (in between time...ain't we got fun???):  TA-DAH....
A new "Snakey was born with the rest of those green scraps; scissor cut as I really did my arm/shoulder in with rotary cutting...that will have to be addressed  in the future I think; I am resorting to tearing fabric for strips (and snipping the resultant strings--peeling them away--and perhaps going back to measuring, tracing lines with a pencil and then sewing--like the old pre-rotary days!!).

And next to it  a pink one I made for a month I missed for RSC13....

And that's where I stand for now....later, Julierose, La Blageuse

ORANGE WE HAPPY & SCRAPPY

Here are the RSC13 March pieces I've made this month all blocked out.  They might look sewn together on the length--but they are not because..... I am now thinking that the center big piece should stand alone with a border (maybe even more scrappy orange bits) and the other two panels could be the backside.  Still planning this out. 

 I walk by it and it just doesn't look right to me....must mean that I have to re-think this one...

this Sunday is the last day of our March Challenge--I was hoping to have this together so it could become my hand quilting project.  

And here is another small arcing, snakey piece that I did also...I want to make something out of this, too....ack--too many things going on in my brain!  

And so my date with orange scraps is coming to a close....

I wonder what the April color will be????
