Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Hearts

 This week has been a bit scattered with back to school, bitter cold, a long appointment for BJ’s Covid shot, and trying to get organized for the new semester.

I cut a pile of tshirts for a customer quilt, sewed and cut miles of pieces for the Rhododendron Mystery, and tried to focus on my scrap quilts for 2022!  For red, I’m making a variety of hearts.  They are, perhaps, not the most glamorous or coordinated, but they look just about how I want them to look.  They are mixed with pinks and purples, and the effort is to make everything from my scrap boxes as much as possible.  I need between 60 and 70 blocks in total, so I hope to sew up 20 this month.



I’m not quite sure how my farm blocks are going to situate themselves within the framework of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, but I managed to sew together three this week.  A few more are cut.

The Rhododendron Mystery is muddling my plans by requiring so much focus and time.  I still like the quilt at this point, and I know it won’t last for too much longer.  I intended to sew up more triangles this week.  While the box is quite full of sewn pieces, the bag of triangles is not yet empty.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
