I finished up a lot of red lozenges. Mine are the small size which will finish at 2 x 4.5
They are pretty boring to make since I can't get into the leader/ender type of sewing but I like them because they are kind of a diary of fabrics that have passed through my hands.
I finished my red postage stamp Sunbonnet Sue. I saw the vintage pattern last year at Q is for Quilter.
She will get added to the rest of the rainbow girls. I have a brown one I made last year when the RSC color was brown. So now I have 8. My quilt will have 12- not 9 like in the pattern.
I did use a lot of red strings and used up some small red fabric chunks when I made these 48 string blocks...
...and these 48 Happy Blocks. I mailed them to some members of the Heartstrings group since they are having a sew-in today to make quilts for Veterans entering hospice.
Got Scraps?
Join in with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and show us what you do with them each ScrapHappy Saturday.
Stay tuned for the next color...it changes at the beginning of each month.
Quite a group of Rainbow Girls you have. Can't wait to see what they become. Love your string blocking both kinds. So nice of you to send them on to be of comfort to the Vets in Hospice. Probably WWII and Vietnam Vets. They are hitting home for me. My Dad and the love of my life fit into those categories.

What a great idea to make the blocks and send them along to Heartstrings . . .
ReplyDeleteI love that little girl in the rainbow colors...and I really like your little lozenges...I do leader-ender sometimes, but somehow it generates more things unfinished for me. and your string quilt blocks are so pretty...my you've gotten a lot done this week! Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYour girls are looking fine! So many little squares to make up that block. How giving to make up blocks that will end up in quilt for the vets. I am sure they will be much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI have commented on your lozenges before - they are so cute. So many fun fabrics in them, especially "blah blah blah". That one is a hoot.
ReplyDeleteLots and lots of lovely blocks.
ReplyDeletePostage Sunbonnet Sue is adorable in the rainbow of colours. Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you--what size squares did you use for those lozenges--I used my Go Baby die which cuts them at the same size as yours. This is going to be my new "leader--Ender" project. thanks, Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteLOVE your rainbow girls. All wonderful blocks. You have been busy.
