Mod Bear Paw - The Beginning

This project has been knocking at my door since the day Lorna at Sew Fresh Quilts shared it with the world.  Here is the introductory post about the project. Visit this page to find the schedule and other color examples.

and so this weekend it began,  so many little pieces in these 7 inch blocks and I was OCD with trying to make them just perfect.  I am using assorted browns and I have a special print for the sashing and paws.  I don't know who will inherit this one, but I hope there's someone who will LOVE IT.

I keep getting blurry pics from this old camera.  The other one broke.  Guess I'll have to get a new one with foolproof features.

I'm linking up with Judy at  Patchwork Times.   Visit there to see what other quilters are creating today.

RSC16 - Yellows End

I shared the crayon quilt last time.  Today I can share my design wall covered with all the yellow goodies.  Just playing around here with some alternating blocks for the scrappy churn dash WIP.  I have been making these units as leader/enders.  I go through those so quickly.

In gearing up for the finish of these RSC16 projects, I tallied my churn dash blocks.  I need to make 19 more for the initial size.  If I want to have this design be the entire queen size quilt, including drop, I need to make 115 more blocks.  Hmmm,  that sounds like it could continue through next year.

No decisions yet.  I have  the modified indian hatchet rows sewn together.  I am now pondering borders.  This is a very bright and lively quilt, it needs the proper border.  I bought a piece that is a black and white, very fine scaled tweed looking almost looks like linen.  I thought it would tone down the loudness of the top.  It does.  Just not sure if it's right for this.  So it may end up on the back if I find another border.

Okay, moving on,  I'm linking up with Angela of Soscrappy  and Cynthia for Oh Scrap  Sunday.  Visit there to see what others are creating with their scrappy leftovers.

RSC16 - Yellow Finishes

When there is a special purpose,  then great finishes are sure to follow.  I will be gifting these quilts out next weekend.  One of my RSC projects was the crayons.  I think I'll make one every year.  So in working with my yellows,  I made the crayon first (usually last), so I could get this quilt together.

I tried to get past the blurry photos, but this one was not cooperating.  It has a nice warm and white batting and backed with a colorful flannel.  It came out 40 x 54.

This next project used alot of yellow, but did not come from the scrap bins.  It measures 48 x 60.  It also has a cotton batting and a comfy fleece on the back.

RSC16 - Reds

I missed the chance to post my red scrappy projects during September.  Here is my design wall with all the red parts.  I took a short cut again and did not bring out the other components to photo with them.  Since October is my last month of color, I figure I will have to bring them out for a together photo then so I can create a plan for finishing them.

I'm linking up with Angela at Soscrappy.  Visit there to see what other quilters are creating with their red scraps.
