A Quilters Cove - October Tans

 


Greeting friends !   It's time for October's Quilters Cove block.  I made it in tans with rusty-brown accents.  My Quilters Cove project will extend into next year, mostly because of the smaller accent blocks and surrounding areas in the setting I've planned for.  

I have 2 more months of color.  We never run out of colors.  I think I'll be using grays for one month and browns for the other month.  I love browns, it's one of my 10 favorite colors.

If you would like to visit links to posts from previous months, you can visit THIS PAGE.
It also has links to Andree's linky parties that were posted each month.

and ......  here is my block for October.  I've decided that less detail is okay and I can fill in any bare-looking areas when the top is together.


I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week.  Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Wishing you a happy and creative week.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Log Cabin 1 - a flimsy

 I've been playing with a new-to-me template by Creative Grids for the 6 inch log cabin block. The process went very well but I'm thinking this mix of colors is not working it.  Will have to think more about plan # 2.  This flimsy is 24 inch square and I will quilt it up into a lil bear hug quilt to wrap around a stuffed animal.  It was fun as I worked out of my 1-1/2 inch string bin.

Heartstrings Donation -# 8 by Valerie Osborne

 This string quilt top was one of a box of tops I received, donated thru Heartstrings Group for volunteers to turn into quilts and donate to their local charities.  Most of Valeries tops are baby quilt size. I donate those to The Hope Center which has 3 locations in my area providing medical services for new mothers- to- be.

My camera did not do justice to the lovely purple print which dominated this string quilt.  I used a pretty fleece print on the back and quilted in a circular grid with Glide lavender.

2026 RSC - Granny Squares- Complete

I began making granny square blocks this year following along with the RSC color of the month.  I made 9 blocks.  These blocks are so traditionally adorable but turns out they are not my favorite to make.  Since I had 9 blocks done, it only seemed fitting to make enough for a lap quilt setting.  

This week I made 3 more blocks; an aqua, a blue and a green.  This makes 12 blocks so I imported my block photos and played in EQ with possible settings.




Here is my imported block photos in a layout.  I will let this setting simmer just in case I come up with a better idea. I think it needs a final border of a large and pretty print. Suggestions are always welcomed.
