RSC18 November

Posted on November 10, 2018 | 23 comments

There are no new colors/blocks being announced for November and December. Instead, we are given the time to move our projects forward, or complete them.

I chose to make my RSC18 blocks into the Squared Away Sampler this year.

I have sewn my blocks into an on point setting with star sashing.

I am very happy with the results!

*If you click on the photo, then you can see a closer view.

I don’t know if you can tell, but the setting triangles are white polka dots, not checks.

I am still considering a border, but I don’t really think that I need to add one.

If you would like to make the Squared Away Sampler, you can visit The Academic Quilter for great tutorials on making all of the blocks.

November OMG 2018

Posted on November 3, 2018 | 13 comments

Before I state my quilting goal for this month, I would like to take the time to thank Patty, of Elm Street Quilts, for hosting One Monthly Goal. She has kept me accountable and thus motivated me, to work on projects and achieve accomplishments all year long. She is uncluttering my mind (and making room for other projects), stitch by stitch, project by project.

Thank you, Patty!

I am planning on devoting free time (It is holiday season after all…how much free time can there be when one works for the post office?) to turn my RSC18 Squared Away Sampler blocks into a flimsy.

Here are the blocks:

And here they are on my ‘design floor’:

I added one more block, a brown one, and am working on the sashing and cornerstones.

I can’t leave them here since I have a sweet chubby calico baby who finds it fun to roll around on them.

Hubby remembered that we bought a backdrop set up used for photography, and then promptly forgot that we had it. Good grief!

Click here to see what I am talking about…there are other systems but you get the idea. It is nice when one doesn’t have any wall space.

So off to the fabric store to buy some flannel, and I will soon have a proper design wall to use.
