The fact that our assigned color for March at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is teal/turquoise has motivated me to resume working on my Frolic quilt. This was the 2019 Bonnie Hunter mystery, and mine has plenty of turquoise and aqua in it.
There are four partial blocks left to be made for the top and bottom edges, then I can sew them all together. My photo is also missing the black cornerstones where the pieced sashing meets up. Bonnie's design had 25 full blocks, but I decided to stop at 13.
Making those last few blocks is my top goal for today's International Quilting Day, and I might even start joining them together. I've been seeing all sorts of new quilt-alongs and mystery quilts starting up this week. I'm trying to resist starting anything new, but then again, I think we all deserve a treat in these trying times.
For those who haven't heard, this weekend is the Spring 2020 Quilty Orphan Adoption Event at Quilting is more fun than Housework. Twice a year Cynthia hosts this event, giving quilters a chance to pass along some of their UFOs to someone else who will love and finish them. I have three "orphans" up for adoption--you can read about them HERE and HERE and HERE. The Rainbow Scrap Challenge folks may remember the watercolor blocks I was making a couple years ago, which eventually became the quilt shown below. My third adoption offering is a box full of strips leftover from making that quilt--check it out!
I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. I hope you are all staying well and getting lots of quilting done!
