2014 RSC August, Pastel Green, Week 3
It's been a busy week. Three nieces are visiting! We made Teeny Tiny Zipper Pouches with some Laura Burch Cat fabrics. Now we're making crochet Spiral Dish Scrubbies. They want to make mug rugs later this week.
I found some time to work with pastel greens and pictured are three 8.5" cat blocks and three 6.5" sampler blocks that I'll add to my collections.
To see what others made with with pastel greens, go here.
Pictured are July and August "Wishes" QAL blocks. They are 14.5" square. Four months/blocks to go.
I've been piecing Bonnie Hunter's free pattern Scrappy Happy House blocks for three years and felt it was time to sew them together into a quilt top with borders.It's a big quilt top. Bonnie likes big quilts. This top is something like 86" x 96". I'll measure after it's quilted, bound and has a go in the washer and dryer. Here it's on the floor sandwiched with some White and Natural batting and a pieced backing ready to be pin based. Will probably do loose free motion meander with a happy loop here and there.
A closeup of the top left corner. Lots of bright colors in this happy, scrappy house quilt top.

Nice bright matching borders
Love the little houses on hills! Your green blocks are nice, too. Love the kitties.
A whole week at Auntie Sheila's! How fun! They are going to learn a bunch.
Hugs
que bonitos los bloques, una amplia produccion..
How brave of you to teach zips on something that tiny. Great blocks going and the house quilt has come out so wonderful. I enlarged the photo so I could see all the goodness - super pick on the border fabric.
I love your house quilt...it looks great! :0)
What a cheerful quilt. It's fun to see two bloggers working on the house blocks and finishing up at the same time. Isn't it nice to pass along the sewing bug to another generation!
WOW what a lot of projects going along so well at the same time! Love those kitties...hugs, Julierose
Sounds like you are having fun with your nieces. I like big quilts too. Your houses are so cute! I need to try some of those scrubbies and I still haven't tried the zips either.
You have been so busy and productive! You scrappy house quilt is magnificent!
Pretty colors in your Wishes blocks. Little scrappy houses are so cute!
What an awesome house block quilt. I love it. This is keeping me inspired to keep making my house blocks.
Love all the bright and sunny houses. I think I need to make some next year. Enjoy your time with the nieces - sounds like you are passing down some great skills for them to have.
You have been busy with your visitors! I love your house quilt, the boarder suits it
I just knew when your happy scrappy houses came together that they would be such a fun neighborhood. I was right! Wouldn't it be fun to snuggle under this one and imagine the little people living in each house?
Loving your scrappy houses!
The scrappy houses quilt turned out beautifully. Lots of fun color in that quilt.
