Chips on the Stairs

I'm working on a personal potato chip challenge this summer. I've collected several pics off the internet for inspiration. Over time, I collected a small drawer of potato chip units. This first project was made from totally scrappy chips because one day I decided to just sew them in pairs, willy nilly. However there were not enough for a quilt and it was so scrappy, it lacked continuity.

Then I came across a pic called Return Croche posted on pinterest by Jean Mentzer. I pulled 2 fabrics to use for alternate blocks and was able to get a flimsy 40 x 48. I added a couple borders to bring it up to the size I wanted.

Peaches Q4K

I made this top last year during Soscrappy RSC month of orange. I made a few kid sized tops using oranges that month. They were nicely hung on a hanger waiting to be quilted. Before you know it, another year has gone by. I sandwiched the top in May when orange was called again but didnt get it quilted until this past week.

This is a Villa Rosa Designs pattern called Snow Ruby. I quilted straight lines in a zig zag style across the top using an Omni buttery yellow thread. I made it to finish at 44 x 52.

I had a fleece backing print in peach and grays that was perfect for this top. This quilt will be donated for a quilt 4 kids program.

A Quilters Cove in RSC - Oranges

A Quilters Cove in RSC this month is Oranges. You will find the RSC aka Rainbow Scrap Challenge over at SoScrappy every Saturday where quilters display whatever they've stitched up with their scraps.

This year I am making a quilt with assorted size blocks and applique houses made with scraps of the monthly RSC color. The color for May is orange. When finished my block will be trimmed to 9" x 10-1/2" .

Andree of QuiltingLearningCombo is also joining in and hosting our Linky Party on the last Saturday of each month where we can share our houses of a design variety we each have chosen..

You will find the links to previous months' housing project HERE .

I also made these paper pieced houses in orange. I don't have a finishing plan in place yet....not even thinking about it.
