I can't believe we are nearing the end of June already!
Time to share the placemats I finished this month.
Everyone stay cool this weekend!

Everyone stay cool this weekend!
This week I was finally able to get out my blue scrap bin and start sorting appropriate bits for my June RSC blocks. Soon I had some cut pieces sitting next to my machine so sew as I worked on other projects.
So that means I have some blue Switchplate blocks ready to share. I had already cut the green centers in May
Here are the seventeen I finished. I think I need a total of 33 of each color so I still have some cutting to do.
I haven't decided how I am going to lay these blocks out. I have just been putting them on my design wall - dark to light. I have a lot of the green blocks ready but I haven't had a chance to cut their yellow centers.
I am excited about playing with these blocks once I have more colors completed. Then I will probably go back and cut whatever other color shades I need.
Today I hope to get the rest of my blue scraps cut.
I really would love to get caught up on my RSC quilts!
For about the last month, I have been feeling like I haven't made much progress on any of my projects. Today I get to share what has been eating up all of my time.
I have been in my sewing room a ton lately, but I don't really have much to share today.
Many hours have been spend sewing together Covered in Love Quilts...
Still working on a number of green and orphan block placemats for Meals on Wheels....
Scraps are getting cut for future blocks...
Every evening I have spent a couple hours hand quilting a vintage top...
I never did find my green squares that were misplaced so I recut more and finished the last four green blocks I needed for my May Bloom blocks.
I just need some orange blocks to finish this project. Not sure I will get to them this month but hopefully in July!
I still have not looked at my blue scraps for June (RSC) and the month is almost halfway over.
Yikes...Thank goodness some projects are nearing completion.
There is just too much going on right now!
I hope you have fun things to share...
The Covered in Love Finishes keep on coming!
I am ready to share the third finish today. It is another Tall Nine in Autumn colors.
So many beautiful fall fabrics hidden away in people's stashes!
I laid these blocks out all going the same direction again. I really like this look.
When I sewed the blocks together, I didn't worry too much if the same fabrics touched in the small rectangles. But I did try and space out the colors in the bigger rectangles.
On the back is a lovely floral piece with a gold. Doesn't the swirl quilting look lovely on the back?
Here is one more up-close photo. I know some of you look for your blocks. I used a pretty regal looking purple and gold fabric for the binding.
When I shared my first Positivity Blocks last Sunday, I said I would share how I make my blocks look scrappy. It is really easy to do.
(If you want to learn more about the Positivity QAL, you can follow this link.)
I hope you join in - it is for a great cause!
I finally found some time to get caught up on a few of my scrap projects.
In fact, I even started a new one!
I finished my last green letter B for my booth banner. This was the RSC color for May. Now I have THREE to make in Blue for June. Yikes!!
(One lonely switchplate block was sewn this week too. I need to cut some yellow centers for all the green strips I cut so I will just finish them this month.)
I finally got to my little pile of previously cut squares for my Bloom Mixology blocks. (I still adore this little "basket" block.) Here are the four all completed. The other needed four are a little bit different hue and do you think I can find the pieces? I have looked everywhere - I know I cut them. In fact, when I just recut all the pieces, many of the prints looked familiar.
Sigh...I know they will show up any day now.
Here is that project up on the wall. It is almost finished!
You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

I can't believe I already have the second finished Covered in Love quilt to share today.
Everyone is doing such a great job on their blocks and Kat organized this project so weel, they are going together in no time at all.
These blocks really do make a lovely quilt. Thanks to all that donated some blocks. If you want to read more about Covered in Love, you can head over to Kat and Cat Quilts.
I have two more quilts to finish in these blocks then I will be moving on to making three or four with the patriotic stars. I have some fun plans for those!
Have a great weekend!
In case you haven't heard yet, there is going to be another Positivity Quiltalong in 2022!
Pretti (Sew Pretti Quilts) and Bernie (Needle & Foot) are hosting this event and the quilts made will benefit Mercyful Quilt. Pretti has put together a block tutorial that you can find here.
I plan on participating and will of course be making mine from the scrap bin in a rainbow of colors.
You can also participate by making and donating any quilt you desire. But I will say the construction of the block Pretti came up with is very clever!
Sounds like there will be lots of great prizes and plenty of time to complete your quilt.
(You can find the schedule here.)
It sure looks like a great way to spend the hot summer months :)
