Scrapbox Quilts: January 2021

January's Tablemat

I began this challenge without a specific plan. I went to the stash shelves and pulled out a pretty print, not alot of it so I thought to use it up and pull some fabrics that compliment. Due to indoor lighting, it may look a tad harsh with the burgandy and bronze metallic.

So I made 4 placemats 14 x 19 ( one is hanging on design wall). See next months' challenge fabric peeking in the upper right corner.

I like to do alot of quilting these days, so I did orange peels in the printed squares and some geometric designs in the open areas.

This is January's version of the Table Scraps Challenge instigated by The Joyful Quilter. Be sure to visit there to see what all the quilters are linking up with their projects this month.

RSC 2021 - Pinks

I showed restraint in choosing patterns for my RSC 2021 projects ----- only ONE , so far !! I have some baskets of scrappy strips, 1-1/2" and 1" trimmed. Hoping to use these up and empty baskets is why I chose this log cabin style block for my project. I have to give credit to Cynthia of Oh Scrap for shining the light on this block for me.

So I have a partial layout plan in EQ, subject to change at any time. Here are my 5 pink log cabin style blocks and did some leader/ender style stitching with these pink crumb blocks, which will be the center of some other block designs in the future.

Tree of Life - December blocks

I'm still pluggin away at this project - only 7 paper pieced blocks per month. I am doing miniature 3 inch finished blocks. My biggest challenge seems to be remembering which fabrics are for what on the color chart. Seems to be confusing every month. I made a few notes which i hope will get me thru.

Here are my December blocks ..........

I'm linking up with Denise at For the Love of Geese. Be sure to visit there to see what other quilters have created with their project.

RSC 2020 - August, Sept, Oct

I've been busy sewing, cutting, sewing, and lots more cutting. I had 3 new RSC projects for 2020, they have joined the unfinished groups of RSC projects from 2019,, 2018 and maybe ??????

While cutting, I did cut for one of my 2020 projects, I call this block a double pinwheel. It might more properly be termed as a friendship pinwheel. At any rate, I was doing 3 blocks in each color, for a 30 block quilt. I will have to doodle in EQ to see if I want a narrow sashing between the blocks or not. Either way, they make a nice alternate pattern too.
