A Little Bit of This...

... a little bit of that.

I will get on board with the color of the month, just not quite yet!

Since I didn't know what color we would have, I grabbed the first stack of 2.5" squares in my box of Carrie Nation bits.  It happened to be bright/light green, so all the large four patches are done (and pressed!) for those.  There are 13 colors to make this quilt queen-sized, and the wedding is in June, so I'll be sewing at least two sets of blocks this month, probably the turquoise and maybe the dark blue.  So far, so good!

I sewed up all my blue triangles in November and apparently haven't created any more yet, so I blindly selected a random assortment of triangles from the bag and sorted into bits for my Omigoshish quilt (I need a new name for it, since I'll be departing from the Omigosh quilt).  Here's the result.

 I also sewed lots of bitty triangles, which are pressed and awaiting trimming.

My 9s and 6s quilt is finally finished!

These 16 patches are intriguing me more with every batch.  Here are my grey-blues, which ended a bit muddled as a friendly little soul named JoJo helped sort them onto the floor not long ago.  I love them anyway, and I'll surely get my fix this month as I'll be adding my aquas to the collection.

 From the chevron prep squares I sewed in November, I assembled this baby quilt.  We have friends expecting a boy in March, and I haven't done a lick of sewing, so now I'm ready to quilt.  I even found the Simply Color ombre in blue in my stash, so the backing is ready and the batting pieced.  Here's to a quick first finish for the year!

 A few bits are sewn together for my Rainbow Star.  The hardest part on this quilt will be keeping all the squares and triangles in order (without JoJo rearranging them).

Speaking of JoJo, since you've heard plenty about him in my posts, he nearly lit the house on fire on Wednesday.  I was grocery shopping and DH was home when JoJo filled the toaster oven with hot pads, plugged it in (foiled again!), and turned it on, then left the room.  The smoke alarm alerted James to an emergency, and only the toaster oven and contents were destroyed.  We were fortunate.  Now I have to consider what to do about this precocious child who silently leaves the room when you blink.  The toasty smell in the house is finally fading, and the kitchen looks cleaner with the empty counter space!

Be sure to check out the other Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects this weekend.  I'm looking forward to plenty of new inspiration.
