its a BLOCK Party!!!

 I want to try all the patterns.. and all the colors.... and its making me have piles of Blocks!!

They are having a PARTY!!!

First up - Sandra at MMM Quilts is doing a Glowing Hearts QAL. And I pulled all my fabrics and they just sat there... until! it rained!!  ( YAY for rain)



NOW !! I have three hearts done and have more ready to go. I really did follow her instructions except I didn't. I struggle with certain things( like an accurate 1/4 inch sometimes) - so I decided to make it easier on me - and created pinwheels in the process - They will be used in something!!


I am still working on the Lo and Behold Art Deco Quilt - I got all of Block 2 done - 27 of them!!


They are not hard.... just time consuming - and there are 27 of them - so there is that! 

I got all the rest of my scraps prepped to make my Teal Not RSC bigger ( no photo - but I want to feel the accomplishment!)


and!!

I got started on my Green RSC Quilt blocks - 


Only one!! but !! I have dug thru the scraps and pulled enough greens for a Whole Quilt top! Oh ya!!!

Chantal asked if I was going to make a whole quilt in every RSC color this year ... Yes? Maybe? If I have enough fabric? well... if that is the criteria - Yes?   haha!!

Oh!! I could pretend to shake the magic 8 ball and see what it says " Time will tell"  Yep!! there you have it!!

Ohhh back to the sewing room!!! Lets see if I can put my *get it done* hat on instead of my *get it started* hat!!

I have decided to try to do a Photo A Day thing again - but I am posting them on my Photo blog - if your interested... alyciaclicks.blogspot.com/

Your blocks are all so pretty, I see why they are having a party!

I think we all have enough fabric that we could make complete large quilts in each of the RSC colors. Happy stitching, enjoy the rain!

I love the strips of blue you pulled! It's amazing what they do for the pinwheels! Nice new green block to add to the design wall!

Those blocks make for a delightful party. I love your Glowing Hearts gradient!

Those are beautiful blues in your hearts! I like how you did your heart block corners, and got the bonus blocks. So smart! I should have done that, too. 😬

Your Glowing Heart blocks are very pretty! A photo a day is tough, we did that one year, it was interesting.

Jeanna said...

Blues are my favorite color and your glowing hearts blocks are gorgeous! You have started some nice projects with the other blocks as well. I twould be quite an undertaking to create a whole quilt out of every RSC color.

Love your version of Glowing Hearts. And 27 blocks on another quilt...you are rocking and rollin! Oh, and an RSC block or two??? You have been so productive Alycia!

Sara said...

I'm with you - wanting to make ALL the blocks I am inspired by. The Glowing Heart blocks are on my To Do list too, but haven't tried them out yet.

Chantal said...

The heart blocks are so cool! The saved corners make some awesome pinwheels too. You sure did accomplished a lot. Just the 27 blocks are a lot in my book. Yes, yes, go for all the RSC colours. It will be so cool. And if you do run out of a colour, just give us a shout. I'm sure we can share a whole lot with you, lol. Enjoy! ;^)

The ombre effect you created with the heart blocks is stunning.
