Scrap Happy Saturday

It is the last Saturday of the month and that means it is time to share some scrappy orange with everyone at RSC.  It was a busy month for me and I was able to get a few things completed.

An orange butterfly.

A corrected green/orange butterfly from last month.

Two orange houses.

I am not wild about the second one though.

I attended a quilt retreat earlier this month and someone shared this quilt with everyone.  I loved it!  I asked her the name of the pattern and she couldn't remember but told me it was apparently a block of the month class at a quilt shop.  I couldn't find anything on it.

Does anyone recognize the pattern?  Let me know if you do. 

I decided to attempt to make the quilt and add my own interpretation of the flowers.  Here is what I have so far.

I thought I would applique some flowers for the border and played with a French Flower.  The pattern is raw edge applique and I am doing traditional applique with it and perhaps a little embellishment.

I know I got some orange microspools done at the retreat as well but they don't look any different from the orange spools I shared last year.  My microspools are from my scrap basket so there will be lots that are the same.

Teal we meet again--which I am looking forward to!

Cheers!

OMG February

It is time to get back to working on at least one monthly goal.  I am linking up with everyone at Elm Street Quilts and I hope I can continue to participate and get some projects done.

Last year at our quilt show we had a second time around shop and naturally I couldn't resist someone else's unfinished project--like I don't have more than enough of my own.  The project was pink hearts and half of the blocks were finished and the rest were ready to be finished.  Sadly, there wasn't enough background fabric to finish the blocks so I dug in my stash and found something that is very close and would work.  I am sure in the right light it will be very noticeable but to my scrappy eye it is just fine.  I did get the top assembled but never quiet got around to getting a border on and that is my goal for this month.  Hearts and February, what could be better for a February goal.

Cheers,
