Swoon block #8

 

I got a little behind on my swoon blocks for the RSC.  Catching up now.  I super love some of the fabrics in this one!  It kind of makes me want to redo some of my earlier blocks and pick different fabrics but there's nothing wrong with them.  

Farmer's wife blocks

 

A few more farmer's wife blocks are finished.  I like the new light fabric that I added to the group.  The yellow was taking over the first few blocks that I finished.

I'm looking into a different way to put the blocks together.  Not sure I'm a total fan of the paper piecing.  Sometimes it great and sometimes not so great.

Love that I was able to make this quilt.  It was on my make it wish list for years.  I don't think I would have tackled it without the rainbow scrap challenge.  One color a month wasn't so bad.

Bonus for the backing...got this great batik on clearance for 5 bucks a yard so I bought the whole thing and they gave me an end of bolt discount!  Love it!  And I have cut strips for binding for my next quilt out of the cut offs.

A little catching up

 

A little catching up to do.

Getting very close to working on the finishing of these blocks.

This one...

Is ready to be put together with the other happy rsc strips!

Little blocks

 

A few tiny blocks put together while waiting for lunch to get warmed.  That was all the aqua for the moment.

I restarted a different colorway for farmer's wife blocks.  I'm paper piecing them.  I feel like I need to pick out a different light fabric than bright yellow.  The yellow seems to be taking over a bit.

RSC September aqua

 

Well, ok, a few of them are a little outside of aqua but are still super cute!  Love these little 6 1/2 inch churn dash blocks.

And I made a point to cut a little extra while making them so I could make these little strips for a future project...
