2013 RSC, October, Black and Gray, Week 3

After week 3 of the the Rainbow Scrap Challenge I'll add two 8.5" blocks and a Scrappy Happy House to my collections. I pulled my batik scraps and made two 7"x 10" mug rugs. They are scrappy front and back. The backs are scrap batik strips. One is an attempt to use Wanda's cobblestones idea. You can find Wanda at "Exuberant Color".

Star Wars and Super Hero potholders are good gifts. I have scraps from making pillowcases and quilts.

And the backs of those potholders.
To see what others made with their scraps, go here Saturday morning.

2013 Rainbow Scrap Challenge, October, Black & Gray, Week 2

After week 2,  I'll add five 8.5" blocks, some 2.5" squares and some 5" tumblers to my collections. I'm having a good time playing with these colors. To see what other made with their black and gray scraps go here Saturday morning.

Quilty Habit had a Lantern Along with prizes. I made a fun lantern baby blanket. Lucky me. My name was drawn and I won a $15 Gift Certificate from I Don't Do Dishes. I chose some "Comma" yardage and a fat quarter. When my package arrived, sweet Caitlin McIntyre sent me 2 lovely fat quarters instead of one. I'm going to enjoy playing with these fabrics. Thanks you Caitlin and Quilty Habit.

Beaquilter's Sampler Block Quilt Along, Blocks 9, 10

Blocks 9 and 10. Next month blocks 11 and 12. If I finish this one in time, it may be a Christmas gift for a little boy as these are guy friendly colors and fabrics.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge, October, Black and Gray, Week 1

October's Rainbow Scrap Challenge colors are black and gray. I have some gray scraps and a lot of black and white scraps. This week I added five 8.5" blocks, some 5" tumblers and some 2.5" squares to my collections. I haven't posted pictures of my knitted dishcloths in awhile. I'll add these to my collection. That makes 22. They make nice little Christmas gifts.

To see what other made with their scraps this week, go here.

Summer Breeze 2 Quilt Finished

I finished my Summer Breeze 2 quilt last week and failed to take pictures until today. I used a Missouri Star Tutorial, Double Slice Layer Cake.

It's backed with Summer Breeze yellow with little blue flowers, quilted with a loose meander and bound with Summer Breeze light green. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at 71"x 80". Another UFO finish!

Quilty Barn Along Quilt Top

Yesterday and today I sashed my barns and added a border. The binding will be red. I must pick a backing and decide if I will quilt it with wavy lines or with diagonal lines in a thatch pattern. This is going to be a UFO for awhile.

Someone ask about the border of my Bungle Jungle baby quilt. Above is a closeup. The name of the fabric? "It's Elementary!" Yes, with an exclamation point.

Bungle Jungle 9 Patch Baby Quilt

I've had a couple packs of Bungle Jungle charms languishing on the shelf for awhile. I pulled some fabrics from stash to go with them to piece and back a baby quilt. Did buy some arithmetic fabric for the border. It's quilted with a loose meandering pattern using white thread. After a go in the washer and dryer, it finished at a soft 41.5"x 51".

And a picture showing the quilting, backing and green stripped binding.
