The monthly color challenge at Freemotion By The River this month is green. I dug deep into my green scrap bin and began casually sewing like-shapes together and didn't have a real plan. Then it was time to make something from them.
I began in the center with the half square triangles. They didn't inspire me much so I separated them with a thin strip; then framed around that. I had to stripset pairs which I used to build up the width. I really was thinking this one is so ugly; then I added the light print top and bottom. It has grown on me now Sewing with your little scraps takes alot of time and makes alot of mess.
I pulled a couple leftover chunks from that bin to make the back too. Don't look too closely at the free motion quilting. I was trying to work with the Every Wave template by Amanda Murphy, I might have done better if I made some registration lines or watched a video. I eventually scrapped the template and quilted widely spaced wiggly lines.

This months RSC color for March is Red. I looked thru my red scraps; wasn't very inspired, so I postponed my creativity .......... all month long it seems. Then this past week I remembered.... I had 2 other scrap baskets of reds left from other projects which was stashed in another room.
After I toiled thru 6 appts this week and finished my easter wallhanging panel "Risen"; I set my mind to the March house block. This block is a big 9" x 18". My house quilt layout contains blocks of assorted sizes. My applique is not very professional; so thankfully, this project is meant to have a touch of whimsy.
Along with Andree of Quilting Learning Combo, I'm also joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

This first little baby quilt is a donation thru Heartstrings Group; the top donated by Valerie of Maine and the backing from a quilter friend in Illinois. I quilted with straight lines and binding to finish at 36 x 36. It will go to The Hope Center which is a local organization supporting new-to-be mothers.
This lil bear hug quilt # 02 is the result of a mission began last year also by the Heartstrings Group. We make lil quilts to wrap up a stuffed critter to donate to organizations supporting children in need or times of crisis. I am a bit behind my goal for this year, but hope to get caught up. Last year there were alot of little tops sent to a few of us by members to finish and donate for them.
On behalf of RSC color for March, I made this one in reds. I started out making 4 patches from 3-1/2 inch leftover squares. The back is also red with thin white hearts. This turned out 22 inches square.
