After a busy week in the sewing room, I'll add four 7" string teal blocks, a hot pad/pot holder and two cotton knitted dishcloths to my collections. I used two blocks pieced during last year's RSC to make the hot pad.
To see what others made with their teal scraps this week, go here Saturday morning.
Last year I made 9" crossroads blocks each month during the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Week before last I pieced them together and added a couple borders. This week I quilted them with a loose free motion meander. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at about 40" x 40". This is a donation baby quilt.
Thank you Connie for sharing the crossroads block pattern last year.
This month I added three rows to my Goodnight Irene quilt top. I'll add another row or two and a border next month. That will make it approximately 72" x 88" or a nice twin size. It's not too late to join the fun. You can find our host, Terry, by clicking the Goodnight Irene button on the side of my blog.
During the February Wilkes Quilters Guild meeting Clue 1, instructions for a Scrappy Mystery Quilt, was passed out to members. I'm making the 50" x 60" version. First clue is to cut 120 pieces of fabric from scraps. We get the second clue during our March meeting. When finished, I'll donate this quilt to the guild.
It's H2H time again! YAH! Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, is collecting quilts for three charities. To find out more about this quilt drive, click the button on the side of my blog. Please take a moment to visit her blog and think about making a donation quilt.

I am loving your teals. Love that 1/4th log cabin string you're making. What happened to the other things promised in the title?
I changed my mind about the Goodnight Irene. I had some cut, and could see that it was going to take me way too long to finish in time for the grandgirl wedding... so I'm making a quilt I saw on Wanda's blog. An 8" block segregated by 2 - 1" pieces. It looks like 2 people walking through life together... I've got a couple dozen blocks done. Goes together quite fast. & minutes per block (after cutting). Guess I should blog about it... show off some blocks.
Hugs
Everything looks great! I love your Irene blocks more every month! :0)
You've accomplished a lot! I like the Goodnight Irene quilt a lot. It would be great for scraps.
Where was I? Here is the whole blog as promised! Love your Goodnight Irene!!!
So much to see - You are a busy girl!
Hugs
You are keeping busy! Love your blocks and your tops...too cute!
I really like your Goodnight Irene quilt, better than any of the others that I have seen.
You updated your post - Tee Hee. I love all the teal you are working with. Irene is just beautiful. I am so tempted to pick up the crochet hook again - I still have those, but gave the knitting needles away a long time ago.
Love the crossroads quilt. What a fun pattern. Your teals are looking so pretty and serene. Hope your mystery quilt turns out great -- looks like you have great fabrics so far.
You have been such a busy girl and with such great results!!
Love your stuff! I am always amazed with what you get done.
Goodnight Irene looks great. Gotta love that spiderman fabric in your mystery quilt!
Love your crossroads (wishing for green next month so I can make one!) quilt. The Goodnight Irene quilt is coming along great - I have a set of fabrics I am planning to use for one - just need to clear a few things off before I can start that. Love the dish cloth colors.
I love your crossroads top. Isn't it nice t see all your hard work pay off?
Your Crossroads quilt and Good Night Irene quilts look great. Love all your scrappy teal blocks too. You had a really productive week!
Congratulations on your finish! a beautiful quilt, and I love your goodnight Irene fabric choices.
My word you are so busy!! Really like your Goodnight Irene quilt, Im very tempted to do a scrappy version!! And so nice to use your rainbow scrap challenge blocks. Note to self use some orphan blocks for pot holders!!!
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
Great teal string blocks! I'm always looking for new string layouts. Glad to see your finished crossroad blocks from last year - really nice finish - so cheerful!
Love the cross roads baby quilt. Some very lucky baby to get that. You have some many nice projects going on.
The rainbow crossroads is very pretty; what a lucky baby to get to sleep under that. Your teal blocks for this years rainbow are also fun. I wonder how you're going to put this one together.
You are getting a lot done, and that mystery quilt is going to be really pretty too, from the looks of those scraps!
Your projects are looking wonderful. I need to get back to my Goodnight Irene quilt. I missed making blocks last month. Yours is a beauty ... :) Pat
I love your Rainbow Crossroads. I am working on a teal on this month. May make an extra block and start a rainbow one also.
You have so many beautiful things to show! Great teal blocks, and I adore your Crossroads quilt. I'm still planning to make that pattern someday.
