2014 RSC Mid Year Progress Post
This is the second year I've made scrappy string triangles. My goal is four triangles in each month's color. I made four red triangles last year so this month will be a triangle free month for me. I think I'll make a baby quilt with them in December.
This is the second year I've paper pieced 8.5" string blocks. My goal is four blocks in each month's color. Six string blocks from last year didn't make it into this picture and will be in the next picture. I need 42 or 48 blocks for a small quilt.
This is the second year I've made spool blocks. Ten of the spools were made last year. I'm making more spools, a star, a heart and a 16 patch block each month. The string blocks in the bottom row should have been in the previous picture. I'll make either a large quilt or some small quilts with these blocks.
I need to sash 42 cat blocks for a small child's quilt.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all these coco mug blocks. They are cute and fun to piece. Maybe a wall hanging or small quilt.
This is the third year I've made Bonnie Hunter's Happy Scrappy House blocks. I need 42 house blocks to make a quilt.
I hope to make a small child quilt with these scrappy string 7" blocks in December.
If I have time, I'll make a large quilt with these cute 6.5" sampler blocks in December. Might be January.
To see what others have been making with their colorful scraps this year, go here.
