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.

I don't know why I am using lots of time makng these granny patch blocks except that I wanted to make more RSC color blocks and use some of those squares I cut from leftovers and stored for so long. This photo was taken indoors, so the colors are really brighter than they appear.
I must confess my very first orange block was easy enough to do..... then as I kept making more blocks, I got them more confused each time. It was really exhausting to keep re-setting it up or taking parts apart.. I think I need to make these from stripsets to keep my head on straight.
Anyway, here is my labour for today - 2 red blocks and one pink. I'm trying to fill up with the colors for past months.
and since the color for May is orange, I'll share some orange paper pieced houses I made this week. They are so cute. Last month I made 4 pink houses, so it seems I'm building another neighborhood. These houses finish at 6 inches each.
