Rainbow Scrap Challenge update:
I am making great progress this month on my Omigosh blocks. I have 28 double nine patches done, and I think it needs a total of 110, so only 82 more to go! Here are the 4 teal/aqua blocks I made this month.
I also finished up a blue double 9 patch from January and 5 pink blocks from February. So everything I had cut for this project so far is sewn into blocks this month...woohoo!
Angela... I need to add some purple, orange and/or green blocks, so maybe those colours could be on the wish list for upcoming months?! No pressure! LOL

Friday Night Sew In Report:
One of the sewers came down with a bad ankle or something, and couldn't come last night (rumour has it that she was either in a fight at work and kicked someone, or she slipped on the ice?) Wine was bought to match the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour of aqua, and I worked on machine quilting blocks for my UFO this month.
I think this is one of my favorite blocks so far. I think the quilting makes the blocks look like tilted crowns. It is fun to quilt each block differently using the same shapes.
Also, my sister's pretty Christmas quilt is on the design wall behind the quilt.
PS - the other quilt holder will remain anonymous because she really needs a hair cut! Just sayin'!
What fun it must be to get together with some other quilters on a Friday night (or any night, for that matter).
ReplyDeleteYour OMG quilt is coming right along! I love Nine Patch quilts, so maybe I should add an OMG quilt to my list. ;-)
That looks like a Disappearing Four Patch that Sandy is holding ... it's gorgeous!
Looks like you made great progress at FNSI. Love your baby double nines! So cute. Two of your necessary colors will be coming up very soon. I'll leave you to guess which one will wait for fall.
ReplyDeleteI love your little "tilted crowns" and the argyle fabric fits the bill perfectly. I also like the Two Oceans but that's another story LOL. Sandy made a stunning quilt. Just awesome! Can't wait to see how you will set up your double 9patch block. That OMG quilt tickles my curiousity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Your double nine patches are beautiful. I've only made two, but keep plugging away at my nine patches.
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots was accomplished at FNSI. It is fun getting together to sew or just sit and chat about quilting and what we want or wish to do!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun night had by all. I dipped into the Moscato wine last night with dinner - my new favorite. Thanks for getting Angela to hint at the upcoming colors - I'm guessing purple and green soon and orange in the fall =) May be wrong but a good guess I think.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on those tilted crowns is great.
lovely quilts, how big are the blocks on the last quilt? and is the quilt holder, a certain blogger here?
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to sew with others and what lovely projects you all have going.
ReplyDeleteLoving the colors in your Ohmygosh blocks--so fun!
ReplyDeleteAfter making those little 9 patch blocks for the RSC sampler quilt, I greatly admire your patience in finishing up your Omigosh blocks. They look great, as does the quilting on your UFO project.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about purple and green (and even orange) being on the RSC wish list . . .
ReplyDeleteYour friend's quilt is gorgeous. I love your omigosh blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how different a block looks after quilting... Love the "crowns".
ReplyDeleteIt is your OMG quilt that has me blown away. I thought they have to be small, and then I followed your link and found out that they aren't small... they are TINY! I like to work small, too, so the 8" blocks I'm working on are quite big for me... but 4.5" is my small... I can't even conceive of a finished block of 1.5". You are amazing!
Love your sister's quilt, too. Now those are small blocks.
Hugs
Ooo--those teal blocks are SO pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat last quilt is amazing. I would have to make that as a leader/ender over a period of years and not really stop and count "how many more" I had to make, or I would give up!
Hahahaha....rumors flying...giggle. She should have come for the wine at least.
ReplyDeleteThe Omigosh blocks look wonderful! I like the "tilted crowns", too! I was stitching with y'all in spirit last night; had the house to myself and worked on my modern teal blocks. Love that you were able to find "matching" wine!
ReplyDeleteYour double 9 patches are such fun. You have made a lot of them too.
ReplyDeleteI think you had too much fun and silliness on your Friday night sewing. Wish I was there. You crown blocks are so cute. I might have to make one for my little sampler. Great nine patches.
ReplyDeleteWhat you get done each week never ceases to amaze me :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a new banner Kathy! The colours are gorgeous, and so is the quilting. Love you Omigosh blocks. it will look lovely with a all the rainbow colours mixed in.
ReplyDeleteThese Omigosh blocks are show stopping! Love them.
ReplyDeleteGirl, you have been busy! Love your teal blocks and ALL your projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun night, I love those crowns.
