I am excited to report that I also finished assembling the quilt top of the red UFO that I showed last Saturday, my Curves and Cornerstones quilt. You can see it and read more in yesterday's post.
I haven't figured out what to do with my circle blocks for August. Our RSC color for the month is indigo (purplish blue), with black and grey as alternate choices. I considered adding grey circles to my blocks, but I didn't like the way they were looking with the black and white backgrounds. I will definitely make black and grey bowtie blocks in August, but haven't decided what else to do. I'm still considering options for a UFO too.
Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. There will also be plenty of scrappy projects at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework.
I am also trying to help spread the news of a new linky party. Krista has started hosting a quilty version of Throwback Thursday. Go to her blog on Thursdays to link up a post showing some of your early quilt projects (maybe pre-blog quilts?) and see other posts of quilts from the past. This week I shared photos of my first quilt, made in 1995. You can see my post HERE, and join in on the fun at Krista Quilts next Thursday.

Great collection of reds! Hard to believe the year is more than halfway done.
ReplyDeleteYour project and design is looking lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks. I really like the way those two blocks work together. Definitely an idea to file away if you have any left overs you want to use up.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks do play together well; the bow-ties are lovely on point.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see your ongoing projects on the wall together. They seem to really enjoy working together - inspiration for a design project perhaps.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've told us, but how large are your bow tie blocks? They're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMy bowtie blocks will finish at 4".
DeleteUsing the entire month to complete your RSC projects is not a bad thing. You ended up with a GREAT looking batch of blocks! Good luck with your projects during INDIGO month.
ReplyDeleteGreat-looking reds! I have the same "blue problem" and decided to go ahead and use royal blue, since that's what I have. I'm all in favor of using what you've got. How about a turquoise? That would look great with your blocks. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful red scrap collection you have!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning combo you have there with the red circles in the center! It is very dramatic and eye catching. Thanks for the info on Krista's new Linky party. Will check it out because I have quite a few oldies.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I read that you won't be combining the two blocks together in one quilt I think the set you have here is a smasher!!
ReplyDeleteLooks good together! Who knew. Beautiful quilt finish in previous post. I'm slowly working up my UFOs, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful red blocks! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThey look good together! Well done on the other quilt - it is lovely too - I had to go and look...thank you for linking up to #scraptastictuesday
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely project!
