Good-bye Greens

String blocks

As I was making green string blocks I found two long forgotten projects.  I found some string blocks that had a green center strings.  I made more blocks.

The other find was green and white rail fence blocks.  I finished making rail fence blocks until the white fabric was gone.  I added a border so it would larger.  Pretty little baby quilt.

 

More green finishes. 

Beads of Courage Bags

Chemo Hats

I wonder what rainbow color is June.  I guess I will go over to ScrappyHappy and find out.

I Won and A Star to Remember

A couple weeks ago Quiltmaker magazine released Quilmaker's 100 Block collector's addition vol. 13.  Debbie at Shadow of the Blue Ridge drew my name.  Woohoo!  Of course Debbie's block Flowers For the Cabin just had to be the first block I would make.  There are lots of little pieces in this block but it was so worth the time to make.  I love that it is a log cabin block of flowers and basket.  Since this month's rainbow color is green I decide I would make a green block.

I am considering making more rainbow Flower For the Cabin blocks.

I also gave this Carpenter Star quilt to a friend.  Today her son would have graduated from high school but four years ago he passed away from cancer.  I thought she could use a quilty hug.

My friend Norece quilted it for me.  She does beautiful quilting and that made this Carpenter Star quilt sparkle.  I am sure her son is watching over her.

Beads of Courage Bags and Rainbow Blocks

As you know I love to make Beads of Courage bags.  Since March I have made 44 bags.  I have another 11 bags that I need to finish.  I had a couple of special requests for certain fabrics.  Hopefully all these bags will bring smiles to children.

I did find time to make a couple purple and orange rainbow blocks.  I need to add some green stars to the collection.

My current scrap project is a basket of 2" squares.  I saw a block I liked that would be perfect for my 2" squares.  Go to Random Thoughts Do or "Di" to see the posted.

One block done.  Who knows how many more until the basket is empty.

I did make 16 patch blocks but still haven't found time to sew the rows together.
