Color Challenge Block -- Done in the Nick of Time!

Here's the yellow block for the color challenge sponsored by SOScraps.  I'm getting pretty good at these blocks although I still grab my notes for the number of each units I need to cut. All the triangles are cut on my Sizzix which makes them go really fast. 

I'm not sure I shared these blocks before or not.  These chicks are FCQ Equilter blocks and are way overdue! I lost the eyes for the longest time. Pam sent us buttons to use.  I finished the blocks probably after the due date.  Then went to sew the buttons on but couldn't find them.  Yet I knew I had seen them fairly recently.  Fast forward another month or so as June was really busy.  I've been completing several hand projects and was sifting through my pouch of hand sewing stuff.  Low and behold I found the 6 buttons sitting in the pouch carefully put away so I wouldn't lose them.  Forget them?  Definitely.  But lose them -- no!  It was short work to give these chickies sight.  Next week they will go in the mail. They are so darn cute I might need to make a flock for myself. 

Joan's blocks which we are suppose to finish during May and June are also done.  They were fun to do and went together quickly.  No doubt I'll stick these in the mail at the same time I send Pam's and I'll be ready for the next block assignment.  

I'm connecting up with Soscrappy:  Scrap Happy Saturday -- Farewell to Yellow.   Hum, I wonder what color will come up in July? 

It's time to hit the studio to sew.  I've got a quilt to get the binding on and sewn down by Monday.  Another one awaits on Ruthie.  Time's a flying! 

Happy Quilting All. 

Color Challenge Blocks

I've caught up on my Color Challenge Blocks!  Earlier this week I made the green and the purple one. 

Here's what all of them look like together. 

Hum, I wonder if I might need to put a sashing between them? 

I'll audition them together and sashed once I get them all made.  Wild colors and yet they do go together... well, except maybe the green... it's more yellow green.  I'll withhold judgement until later.  

I also finished putting together the fabric for a mystery quilt I will be doing with the guild in June.  I have had the focus fabric for ages. I found the burgundy Moda Marble in the stash too.  There was a blue-green fab in the stash that I was willing to use but I didn't think I would have had enough.  So I got the blue and gold fabric at the quilt show at the beginning of the month.  No luck on having enough fabric in my stash to use as the background so I picked the beige at the quilt store Tuesday night when I went to the embroidery class. 

Bubbles, my Bernina workhorse, was left for a spa week.  Hopefully only a week.  I've stitched almost 2 1/2 million stitches with her since I got her in February or so of 2012.  I was surprised to see that almost 1/3 of those stitches were on the embroidery side.  I guess I have been using the embroidery unit a lot!
