Here are the blocks from the last RSC21 project that needed to be finished up. I lost steam on this one and only had three colors done, so I added a couple of blocks in purple and orange to round out the collection and made a nice small snuggle size layout. The blossom blocks are pretty simple and easy to put together, not sure why I didn't keep up momentum. Be sure to visit Oh Scrap! for more scrappy projects.
I got these potholders whipped up on a utility sewing day before the kids showed up. I was able to turn old towels and t-shirts into decorative cleaning rags and these orphan quilt blocks made a great collection of hot pads. That makes today an official hand sewing of binding day! I have a list of Christmas movies to stream and a cup of hot tea to warm me in the almost fall like Florida weather. Slow Stitching Sunday is a weekly gathering of hand sewing, so don't forget to visit for inspiration.
I like the idea of using orphan blocks for hot pads. I hope you like stitching binding. It looks like you have a lot of it to do.
ReplyDeletenice colorful blocks and hot pads are a great way to use up blocks - I hadn't thought of that and need to look and see if I have padding to make to make some. I have two left over pineapple blocks that could be nice to set hot casserole bowls on.
ReplyDeleteYou have been so productive over this holiday week. Lots of fun. Hand sewing binding and binge watching shows is the perfect ending.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use up your orphan blocks and I love your scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteHoping you enjoy a relaxing hand sewing day today, Angela!!
ReplyDeleteI fell off the wagon after Jan. baby quilt out of pink, but have my patterns picked out for 2022 and ready to dig in.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects you are working on! Great use of orphan blocks! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour snuggle quilt looks great! I really like that layout. Orphan blocks make really good hot pads, too. Enjoy your binding stitching today!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sunrise! Your scrappy blocks are gorgeous! This is going to be a beautiful quilt filled with happy and pretty colour and pattern. Love your hot pads, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your last RSC quilt. I like the final layout. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteI too like your final layout of your RSC. I too enjoy beautiful sunrises. . .it is the best way to start the day!! You get to see some gorgeous ones!
ReplyDeleteI think we can all figure out why you lost steam on making the blossom blocks. But you've got them done and on your way to another RSC finish which is better than I have managed. I'm glad you got the whole family together for Thanksgiving. It will indeed get harder each year.

I love that you finished your RSC project even though you had lost your motivation. I would have felt locked in to using every color instead of just adding to and finishing. You are an inspiration!
ReplyDeletethat looks so great together! those colors are very spring like!
