From Green to Red - RSC February Color from Grandma's Red Needle

HAPPY SCRAPPY FEBRUARY!

How did it become February already? I'm sure you've noticed; February has 29 days - leap year - more time for quilting!

February means a new RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) color, and RED is chosen by Angela at soscrappy.blogspot.com

Since February 1 was midweek, we got some extra days playing with GREEN (RSC January color)

It has been a long time since I participated in a BOM (Block-Of-the-Month. I did not intend participating in any this year either, but then I came across Sherri McConnel's A Quilting Life BOM 2024. A new block is ...

RSC Week #4 - Last of the Greens from Grandma's Red Needle

It has been another wet week due to cyclone 'Candice'. Last week it was 'Belal'. 'Candice' was nothing compared to 'Belal'. It kept us in suspense for three days, looping over the island before it decided to accelerate and leave.

Perfect days staying inside playing with RSC green fabric.

Except for the Split-9 blocks I made last week, I've made some new blocks where I can use some of the 2" squares that have multiplied over the years!

I've made 4 Scrap Jar blocks

The 16-patches center is all from my 2" cut squares. The spikes and background ...

RSC 2024 Week 3 - Green for January from Grandma's Red Needle

RSC - RAINBOW SCRAP CHALLENGE 2024 - hosted by Angela over at

superscrappy.blogspot.com

I had sew much fun doing the RSC last year. I'm participating this year too. The first color of the year - January - is GREEN.

I used up most of my greens last year, making 'Gerdrik's Quilt'.

For this year's challenge, I have chosen a couple of blocks to make in each month's color. I have a lot of cut squares in different sizes. This box contains 3" squares, sorted on colors.

There are some blocks I've always wanted to do and one ...

Finished UFO and Other Finishes, No progress on Purple from Grandma's Red Needle

I took some days finishing several small items sitting on the table and taking up space.

Two scrappy green table toppers are done

These green pieces were scraps left from RSC March - the GREEN month - after I finished the green Churn Dash quilt. All batik, except the green Moda Marbles backing. These two small table toppers are for the kitchen; top of microwave oven and cupboard.

Out of approximately 30 yards green fabric, I have about 11 yards left, mostly Moda Marbles. Yeah me!

I've finished the custom order for my friend in Norway

RSC Week 13 - End of the GREEN Month and Two Finishes from Grandma's Red Needle

Goodbye RSC GREEN March - Welcome RSC PURPLE April!

It has been a busy month after I decided making the green quilt. First I thought of Rail Fence, but after pondering about that, I went for scrappy Churn Dash blocks (12" finished). Those blocks are easy and fast to make. My goal for March was to make and finish the quilt, and so I did!

I had sew much fun piecing the backing! A couple of crumb blocks from table scraps and bits and pieces of green. I ...

RSC Week 12 - GREEN Flimsy and Pieced Backing from Grandma's Red Needle

It has been another busy GREEN week.

My goal this month has been to use as much green fabric from my stash as possible, and I think I have succeeded, IMO. Last week I had made 48 scrappy Churn Dash blocks for the green scrappy quilt and made a couple of crumb blocks for the pieced backing (here).

A flimsy!!!

To get a better variety of green, I pulled out what I had of 5" squares in green. Not that it was that many, but fabric used is a good thing, isn't it? :)

It didn't take long piecing ...

RSC Week 11 - Green Updates from Grandma's Red Needle

Another GREEN week, inside as well as outside.

It has been raining and Friday at around midnight we had a spectacular thunderstorm that lasted about 2-3 hours. Some fishermen were interviewed on the news, they said they'd never experienced such a heavy thunderstorm.

March is the Green month. RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) hosted by Angela over at SOS Scrappy.

Rainy days and what is better than stay inside playing with stash?!

I have finished the 48 Churn Dash blocks for the boy's quilt.

Churn Dash blocks are fun and quite fast to make.

Some leftover pieces I plan ...

RSC Week 10, GREEN all over from Grandma's Red Needle

GREEN and wet outside - GREEN and cozy inside!

It's week 10 of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge - RSC hosted by Angela over at SOS Scrappy. March is the GREEN month. It has been more rainy (and h*** humid!) than sunny days this week hence no venture out (except grocery shopping).

I've been working on green, trying to reduce some of the approximately 30 yards measured. Where did all that green come from?! Someone must have done some purchases! LOL

After making the pink quilt (left to add binding) for the little girl, I decided to make a GREEN quilt ...

RSC - GREEN for March, February UFO Finish from Grandma's Red Needle

Happy March!

How come it's March already?! Many of you are waiting for spring. Living on the Southern hemisphere, I'm waiting for 'winter in Mauritius'! 'Winter' here does not mean snow, it means the cold season. Beginning April the days are getting cooler. One more month to go, can't wait!

RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) color this month is GREEN

Do I have green? Ha-Ha! Silly question of course!

Update: Approximately 30 yards!

What do I do with green? My goal is to use up as much as possible. Just got a bright idea to make a bed ...
