Rainbow Scrap Quilts

Yeah, it's Friday. I get excited over Friday whether I have something to do on the weekend or not. Just an old habit from working. 
Amy at Love Made My Home has not been posting Five on Fridays this whole month of August cause she taken the month off. She'll start back up next Friday but I still want to go ahead and post my Five for Friday
My five pics will be the five rainbow scrap quilts that I am making in regard to so scrappy RSC 15 challenge

I have 2 of the 5 sets caught up with all the colors for year. 
Being that this month was indigo and here are my indigo blocks


Some how I miss counted how many blocks to make, need 2 more.



But then the other 3 sets, I still have to catch up on May and June the baby blue and the bright green. 


1. Is the spool blocks. These are made from small pieces of scrap from trimming up my bigger scrap. I just couldn't throw them away, had to make something from them. Which those small slivers were perfect to make little spools. Now this one won't be a very big,  it will be more of a wall hanging size.



2. I'm not sure of the name of this block because I first saw this as part of show and tell at a guild meeting. This one still needs the baby blue and bright green blocks. 



3. These are the curvy log cabin blocks, this one also still needs the baby blue and bright green blocks. The yellow ones I'm not sure about. They don't read a circle like the others. Could remake or not use them in the top. 



4. This one is made out of 30's reproduction fabric to correlate with ours 30's club. We all show are RSC 15 blocks during our meeting. And when we meet next month I'll take pictures of everyone's blocks again and show them here.
I have all the colors done on this one. 


5. And a simple 9 patch where I use this method 

So there are Five on Friday

 I want to add a link to an earlier post where I gave name of patterns or links to ones, like the spools. Go Here

till next time

    Maybe the yellow will fit in better when more colors are added, so don't give up yet. You have done a terrific job this week with all those types of blocks.

    Wow, that's a lot of blocks! I recently discovered that method for making sets of 9 patch blocks. It's very useful, and fun!

    I am really thinking about those circle blocks for next year -- so much fun! Lots of great progress -- getting so close to finished quilts.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott
