Happy National Quilting Week

 This is our week - The week we celebrate Quilting!

And thanks to a few of my affiliates, there are lots of ways for you to celebrate.

First up, you can take 20% off your entire order at Connecting Threads.  I just placed a nice fabric order that included a number of backing pieces.  I will share photos of my purchase once it arrives.  But the sale doesn't apply to just fabric - they have batting, thread and lots of notions.

The Fat Quarter Shop is celebrating with a free World Piecing quilt pattern along with a contest if you wish to participate.  You can read more about the event here.

I should also note that right now, they have all of their Clover Notions 30% off.  Not sure how long that sale will continue...

At AccuQuilt, for a few more days, you can get 25% off many of the Go! products.  Remember to use the code CUT25 when you checkout.

Right now, these are the only events I am currently aware of.  If I see more, I will let you know!

Oh Scrap! : Springtime Green

 I am certainly enjoying spring - both outside and in my sewing room.  The RSC color for March is green and I finished quite a few blocks this week.  Yay!

I added a few more postage stamp blocks to the stack...

I gave them a quick count - hoping I was almost finished with them.  But I only have 26 completed out of a needed 42 blocks.  I am going to have to do another "solids" search so I can finish a bunch more blocks.

I completed my four Well Suited blocks in green for one of my 2021 Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts.

Here are the first three month's worth of blocks up on the wall.  I am not sure on what block layout I will go with.  As my Well Suited pattern shows, there are lots of options!

As I make the flying geese for my blocks, I am immediately turning the bonus triangles into pinwheels.  I am adding the blocks to some blue pinwheels I made when I made this all blue Scrap  Mixology quilt.

Here are all the completed blocks to date squished together up on my design wall.  I will probably add a sashing of some sort between the blocks.  I just haven't figured out yet what that will look like.

I think I still have at least two more RSC block designs to finish for March.  Which is great, because I still have a ton of green scraps left!

Happy Scrappy Sunday!

I also wanted to remind all of you that Spring also brings the Quilty Orphan Adoption Event.  I will be posting the link up on this Thursday the 18th.  So dig through your sewing room to see if there is an older UFO you want to adopt out.  It is an easy way to get it off your list!

You can read more about the last event here - which will give you an idea of how the event goes.  .

I already have my abandoned project picked out!

Love Laugh Quilt (Monday Making)

So Scrappy for RSC21 

Covered in Love Second Finish

 I know I thought I was going to be sharing the second FiddleSticks quilt this week, but I didn't get all of the binding completed.  But I will share the first of the red, white and blue quilts I am working on for Covered in Love.

This quilt is made with 12.5" star blocks of all different designs.  For this first quilt, I used all the star blocks that had a white background to them.

There wasn't quite enough white blocks for the entire quilt so I added in some more colorful blocks in the center of the quilt.

I really like how the white blocks act as a nice frame to the quilt.  A big thanks to all those who contributed some stars.  I know these patriotic quilts are very well received by families of veterans.

I received enough blocks to make a total of three quilts.  I am really enjoying all the beautifully made blocks and the great star designs!

Covered in Love is one of the recipients of this year's Hands2Help quilt drive.  You can read more about that here.

Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!
