The focus for December has become my Carrie Nation block collection because I really don't want to make more of these blocks in 2015. I am focused on filling in the colour gaps.Over the past week I cut and sewed 8 orange blocks, and am pleased with the variety of dark to light oranges that I could come up with.
This week I am hoping to work on the green scraps to make a few more blocks. And then in the week after Christmas when there is more sewing time, I plan to get this top together.
To see what other projects are being worked on, hop over to SoScrappy.
Sounds like you have a plan and I am looking forward to seeing your finished top. I do love orange....
ReplyDeleteYou did find a nice variety of oranges. It can be a difficult color for both quantity and range. Your blocks look great and I am looking forward to a finished top very soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks. My orange stash is sadly slim, as I too, find it extremely difficult to find good oranges!
ReplyDeleteI love orange!
ReplyDeleteYumm! Orange blocks! I ♥love♥ ♫ORANGE ♪♪ It is so beautiful and cheery and citrus! Yumm. Good luck with your plan. Can't wait to see all the blocks together.
ReplyDeleteLove those oranges Kathy! It will be nice to see this quilt as a colorful flimsy :) I've got some blocks that I need to finish up into quilts from the RSC too - thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteSeems a shame not to make any more when you make them look so good lol
ReplyDeleteBut then I guess there are so many other blocks to make - so roll on 2015!
Looking good. It's going to be fun to see the final result. I'm thinking about my projects for next year, but am going to leave the serious planning and organizing until after the 25th.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is a favorite color of mine--glows with warmth. Looking forward to seeing this top come together.
ReplyDeleteLove your oranges, some are too harsh for my taste, but love these.
ReplyDeleteOrange can be hard to find! Your blocks look great. I'm going to look into the challenge.
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! I'm looking forward to seeing the final project.
ReplyDeleteYour orange blocks make me think of sherbet. I'm hoping for more sewing time next week. To much holiday prep going on to spend much time in the sewing room.
ReplyDeleteLove those yummy orange blocks. Looking forward to seeing your quilt come together : )
ReplyDeleteYou have so many orange scraps. I seldom have much in the scrap basket in orange. Maybe because most together on the shelf....even the smaller pieces because they can be pumpkins. I have enjoyed seeing your scrap blocks this year. A new year of them to go.
ReplyDeleteNice orange blocks. And so focused- well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat variety in your oranges. Sounds like you have a plan for a year end finish. Looking forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteI like your blocks!
ReplyDeleteI made a bunch of orange blocks to fill in the holes on one of my RSC projects ... the blocks are all made; now all I have to do is put it together ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, Yes love how the colour is dark to light.
