Today I'm sharing my RSC blocks. I'm making a variation of a braid from "Braid Shuffle" by Karie Patch Designs. So far I've done 4 blocks in purple and 4 blocks in teal, except mine is more like turquoise.
I haven't decided what my background fabric will be yet so I'm showing these on the white of the design wall. These blocks will get trimmed down quite a bit. Here's the pattern I'm using. I'm tickled to be making this quilt now -- I bought it a year ago. I do tend to buy a lot of patterns and then a lot don't get used. Do you buy patterns and then let them sit around?
Here's how I did on my goals this past week. Not too bad although I worked on most everything listed, some I just didn't get a LOT done! Oh well

Your "Monday Meanering " block colors look a LOT like my current project! ... great minds ...
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't buy patterns at all, but buy a LOT of books, totally for the eye pleasure - I seldom make anything from any planned pattern. Stubborn or stupid, not sure! Happy Quilting, elaineadairpieces.blogspot.com
Braid Shuffle is an interesting pattern, and you have a great start on the blocks.
ReplyDeleteThat's a pattern I haven't seen. I think it is a good one for RSC and can't wait to see you finish it! I buy more books than patterns because I think there's more value there.
ReplyDeleteJust pretend you are the little engine that could and you can get your OMG done! I am just squeaking by too. Hope to blog it tomorrow if I can get a decent picture! Yes I have bought way more than my share of patterns that are untouched, sad sad sad!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your OMG, but sometimes the quilt just isn't calling our name. At least, you are having fun with those Braid quilt blocks!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get my OMG done this month either! But there's only so many hours in a day. Love the braid blocks!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cool pattern. It will make a great RSC quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a fun pattern for RSC. Hope you were able to get a bit farther on your OMG project. Even if you don't get it done, progress is still progress.
ReplyDeleteDo I buy a lot of patterns and then don't use them? Ummmm....yeah!! I guess I plan to live a loooooong time--lol! Have fun with your braiding--it's going to be pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, and welcome to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I love the Braid Shuffle pattern, and it should make a great quilt. I’m really looking forward to seeing that one develop. But I`m totally in love with the quilt in your header. Do you have a post about it that you can send me a link for? And the picture is glorious, too!
ReplyDeleteI do like your RSC projects! I haven't crossed paths with you yet in the RSC linky (SO many now this year!) so I'm glad that in viewing your newest post I got a glimpse of this, and well, I have found a new love for purple and aqua (like WHO knew??) so I had to come investigate. :-)
ReplyDeleteTeal or Turquoise? That is the question. Then there is aqua and cerise and cerulean. Whatever you call them your blue and purple blocks will make a lovely quilt.
