I think Last months RSC color was Darks - but I was not inspired at the time. Then I had to find ways to entertain myself with my foot elevated. ( just so you know - my apple watch tells me I stand about 13-15 hours a day.. sitting is HARD)
So I dug thru a bin and found some browns,
and then An idea came to me... make some 16 patches... and some crumb blocks
I had the top 12 - 16 patch blocks made, but I started digging in another pile and found the bottom 16 patches. That is when my husband came in, admonished me, and then said - Oh - is that Treasure Quilting? and it stuck!!!
I kept staring at those 16 patches trying to figure out what to make out of them. The crumb blocks were already going to the *parts department* ( thanks Cathy for that term) but I didn't want them all to go there!
I started playing, and realized I needed a few more 16 patches to actually make this quilt - so I made 2 more!!! and Ta Da!!! A buffalo plaid 16 patch haha!!!
A month Behind - but!! I am counting it for this years Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
And keeping my fingers crossed I will have it pieced and MAYBE even quilted by the end of the month.

It turned out quite pretty! I love browns. :) LOL over your "doctor" husband admonishing you. :D Hope your injury gets better fast, it's just too inconvenient, right?
ReplyDeleteHey that is really looking good, another great guy quilt in the making.
ReplyDeleteThat combination of blocks and colors is lovely - warm and cozy! I think you're getting both September darks and October lights all in one quilt. Win win!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. It's giving me ideas for all the plaid fabric I have.
ReplyDeleteTreasure quilting and parts department - such great ways of thinking about our projects that are still in those planning stages. Love how those 16-patch blocks look with the dark alternates. Awesome plan!!
ReplyDeleteWhen you start to play around you sure do come up with a great layout!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty browns in this top! Way to go on catching up!!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt just screams fall! Hopefully you will be up and around again soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea for sixteen patches! I love buffalo plaids (any plaids, really) and 16-patches, so this is definitely Buffalo Treasure!
ReplyDeleteNicely done! The colors are very rich looking.
