2016 RSC May Green Week 3


This week I worked on a green RSC column of flying geese. All my other column blocks were loose so I sewed them together. I wanted to audition my colorful RSC columns. So far, looking good! To see what others made with their green prints, go here.


A grandson requested a string block quilt. Since his birthday is in August, I thought I'd start making blocks for a media themed quilt. I'm sewing colorful 1.5" strips of fabric on 7 3/4" square pieces of paper torn from a phone book. The centers are 2" strips of Kona White fabric. I using a lot of super hero, movie, cartoon and tv themed prints.

    Those lime green geese are my favorite and go so well as a row. The string quilt is a great idea with the white accent against all the brights, so much fun.

    I can't wait to see your Grandson's quilt finished! I love string quilts. They have so much to look at when they are finished.
