A Couple of Green New Deals

3 inch finished Nine Patches in green.

I have a couple of new starts using green scraps. 

When the theme in my sewing space in January was "Itty Bits, Fiddly Bits" I found a couple of baggies of green 1.5 inch squares someone gave me in the project box for Gum Wrapper Chain. There were so many neat little piles of duplicates. I set them aside to make little 3 inch Nine Patches. 

And since this month the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color is green I noticed I also have quite a few small scrap chunks of green I can use to make more little Nine Patches if need be. 

A long time ago I copied off a pic of this c 1920 vintage quilt I saw a long time ago at the International Quilt Museum. And I've been meaning to make my version for a long time. I guess that time is now! 

Recently I also saw a similar version coming soon at Laundry Basket Quilts. 

9 Inch Greek Keys

I will be making a Greek Key Quilt in green. 

The January theme in my sewing space was "itty bits, fiddly bits". At that time I noticed I had a lot of green 1.5 inch width scraps.

In February the theme in my sewing space has been "log cabins and variations". I decided to make some Greek Key log cabin blocks and ended up with a small top using green and blue scraps.  I saw a really cute wonky Greek Key quilt I liked and wanted to try but before I tried to make a wonky one I decided I should make one that's not supposed to be wonky so as to figure out how the pieces go together.  This is another one that is not supposed to be wonky.

And since the February RSC color is green I'm using those green 1.5 inch width scraps and small scrap chunks. 

And sew on...

Finished a book! Anonymous Voice by Jean Hackensmith. It is the third book in the Dirty Thirties Saga that follows a Philadelphia family who lost many family members in the mines and then moved to Oklahoma to homestead. Evidently there is to be a fourth book in the series.
