Blue is still the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month. Now I'm looking forward to the next color. I think we have red, purple and yellow left. Which will it be?
I made a few PSP20 (Postage Stamp Pandemic 2020) blocks with blue solids earlier in the month but added a few more to the collection. This is a perfect project for this time of year - easy to pick up and put down on breaks from the gardening. I'm using 1.5 inch square scraps plus solids to make these blocks. I have a little pencil case of squares I've been cutting as I've been emptying my 1.5 inch width scrap bin.
And I caught up on some colors and added a few oranges to my collection...
...because I was a lucky winner recently of some solids from Sally of Objects of Design. so I now have lots of solids to play with. I also caught the PSP20 from Sally.
I made two Churn Dash blocks that finish at 13.5 inches. I've been making two per month with scrap chunks so at the end of the year I will have 24 blocks. I will divide them into two sets and set them 3 x 4 and make two donation quilts.
A profitable week sewing with Blue RSC scraps. I’ve made 49 patch Postage Stamp blocks using 1.5” squares but not used 64 squares. I find sewing the rows of small squares quite fiddly but love the result. The Churn Dash blocks are great. Good idea to make enough blocks for 2 donation quilts. The solids you won are super colours, they are a great addition to your stash which MUST be getting depleted by now.
ReplyDeleteeverytime you post the postage blocks, I get closer to trying one. They are so fun and scrappy looking.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun stack of solids to play with! Your blocks are looking great.
ReplyDeleteYour postage stamp blocks are pulling at me - still trying to resist! Pretty solids and churn dashes, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely PSP20 blocks in Dark BLUE!! I have to say, you and Gayle seem to be trying to infect me with the project. I have a stack of solids in a variety of colors and goodness knows that I have PLENTY of scraps!
ReplyDeleteThat Sally is SUCH an enabler, isn't she? I'm starting to see postage stamp blocks in my sleep!
ReplyDeleteI love your big churn dashes, too!
Congrats on winning the solid fabric! You've got some gorgeous colors to play with, Amish colors. I've always loved postage stamp quilts and those little blocks are adorable.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely time to get out the Bright Patches and solids! Fantastic display of color!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun to win some fabric although I can't imagine anyone who needs it less. Haha. You will make some wonderful blocks with them.
