Another year of rainbow scraps comes to an end and it is time to reflect. Let's celebrate finished quilts, make notes for projects still in the process and plan for new quilts to come. 2023 will be another chance to work our way through the rainbow and work on using more scraps in so many beautiful projects. First though, take a breath today and enjoy everything that you accomplished in 2022.
Two of my three main #RSC2022 projects made it to the flimsy stage. I will work on getting my quilting machine set up again as soon as the kids head back to college again and get those finished officially. Bulls eye is still pinned together in rows. It won't take long to get those put together when there is a little more space to set up a machine.
And here are the Carpenter's Star blocks which had an extra sashing added at the last minute. It gives the quilt a good size as well as creating a nice secondary effect of diamonds where the blocks meet.
I still have a backlog of bindings to be sewn from a great quilting marathon that happened over the summer break. Chopsticks will be the last one crossed off the list in 2022. I took the last stitch in the binding while settled next to the fireplace at the cabin. This one will stay there to keep us all warm in the chilly mountain air.
#Fullstop is finally complete. I sewed most of this in the car while driving to the cabin. Even taking a turn at the driving, there is still plenty of time to sew a bit.
How did your plans go for 2022? Please share below and come back next week with plans for the new year.
Thank you for hosting a year of fun link-ups, Angela! I always enjoy seeing the beautiful blocks and quilts you work on. Looking forward to another year of working on a rainbow of scraps!
ReplyDeleteYou did so well in 2022. Gosh, I love that Carpenter's Star quilt! Blackford's Beauty is a close second. Here's to another wonderful year of quilting, laughing, and sharing. May good health be with you all through the new year. ;^)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a beautiful batch of rainbow quilts, Angela! Best of luck on finishing up the rest of them and wishing you tons of scrappy fun in 2023.
ReplyDeleteThanks for another colorful year! As usual I started strong but fizzled. Hopefully I'll make more rainbows in 2023.
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to know what the colour for January will be!!!! I had started out the year with good intentions to keep working on my Bight Jane blocks but then, one month I had all those colours all complete the previous year and got sidetracked with a Wedding Quilt that languishes on my sewing table. I intend to finally and completely finish all the blocks for the Bright Jane quilt so I can start something scrappy. thank you for all you do in organizing this and keeping us motivated.
ReplyDeleteYour flimsies are lovely! I'm amazed at all you get done despite your busy job and family life. Thank you so much for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your finishes and your "almost" finishes!
ReplyDeleteEach one is a gorgeous scrappy delight!
Happy New Year!
Thanks for hosting this fun community again this year, and congratulations on those lovely finishes. Will we ever run out of scraps? Certainly not in 2023! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finished quilts as well as WIP's. I didn't do well at all in 2022; finished two UFO's only. My 2023 UFO list is soon ready and my goal is to get at least one done per month. Happy New (Quilting) Year!
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful quilts -- on your post and all the link-ups! Inspiration abounds, hope to get the scraps turned into quilts, and joy at finishing and seeing others' finishes! Thanks for keeping us all motivated to work on our creations, no matter our skill levels. Happy 2023!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see you are doing this fun linky party again Angela. Happy New Year. 🥳
