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.

More Granny Patch Blocks

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.

Villa Rosa Challenge - Week 5

Who knew I would get this surprise push to quilt up those tops I put together last year? I thought they would languish on the hangers for a decade. Then along came the Villa Rosa Designs challenge to finish 6 quilts in 6 weeks. I have a weakness for taking on a self-challenge.

Originally, I thought I would be making these quilts from scratch until .................. I remembered these tops. Well I have made 3 new Villa Rosa patterns for this challenge, but I also had 3 Honey Bouquet tops just waiting in the wings to be finished.

So, for week 5 I quilted up this darling top made with the Honey Bouquet pattern. It is all flannel pieces and the backing is also flannel. I used a Pellon 80/20 batting and an Omni buttery yellow thread quilted with loopy loops for a fun and quick finish. The binding is also flannel.

Here is the back .....

I'm sharing my finish on Villa Rosa Designs facebook page and also joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

RSC Saturday - Granny Patch Blocks

I've been wanting to try out this block pattern for ages. I recently watched a youtube video where this block was made and it's been on my mind ever since. The video used rectangles for the background, then trimmed off all the excess to square up the block. I didn't want the extra waste PLUS I had accuquilt dies to cut those outer units for me, with less trimming waste.

These soft oranges look so pretty in the blocks. I wish I had time to make more of them today.

Week 3 & Week 4 - Villa Rosa Challenge

Villa Rosa Designs is hosting a "6 Quilts in 6 Weeks" Challenge. The quilts are being shared on their facebook page (5) Villa Rosa Designs | Facebook It's not to late to join in. I am considering extending my personal challenge to 10 weeks. You can read all the details about it here

Join the 6 Quilts in 6 Weeks Challenge Today!.

Last week I posted my pink finish for RSC so I didn't get my "Week 3" posted here; tho I did share it on Villa Rosa's facebook page. My week 3 finish was a UFO top I made last year. I was given some bags of flannel scraps and I was inspired to make some tops from the Honey Bouguet pattern. Here is one of them.

Here is the back which is also a flannel.

Now for my Week 4 Challenge finish ...........

This is a big one. I pieced and quilted it this month. I will be turning it into a quillow; currently working on the pocket. It finishes at 58 x 82. I did alot of ruler quilting on it using a very large quarter circle template by Amanda Murphy. It has 80/20 batting and is quilted with a Glide thread on top and Bottom Line gray in the bobbin.

The backing is the Queens Garden wide back from Marshalls Dry Goods.

A Quilters Cove in RSC - Pnks

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge at Soscrapy for April is pink. Here is my rendition of my Quilters Cove cottage in pinks. This block will be trimmed down to 6 x 12 whcn finished in the quilt top. Judging by the leaves on the tree, it must be a VERY windy day in the Cove today.

I also re-awakened my love for paper piecing this week. It takes so much longer to dig thru the scraps than to sew the blocks. Here are my 4 paper pieced pink houses. They will finish at 6 inches square. I dont have a final plan for them yet, but there will be trees and more houses.

Andree at Quilting & Learning - What a Combo! is hosting A Quilters Cove linky party this week. You can also visit previous posts by visiting A Quilters Cove tab at the top of this page.
