Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

This is my February's Lovely Finish, Nested Churn Dash. I am so pleased with how it turned out. I wanted to thank those how left comments with their suggestion on how they would finish it. I am going to take their suggestion along with my friend Mary and combine them. I will go with grey to frame it in but I'll use it in the binding.  A change from my scrappy binding like I was planning. And will have that darkness of grey but not as thick as the sashing.  Thank you everyone. So now for a few other finishes. This is an addition to the blocks I started for RSC15 I had these blocks left over from making Breast Cancer quilts many years ago (8 yrs).  Now I have another donation quilt. This one is crib size and will make a cute little girls quilt. Then I found these block while looking for something. These date back again to 2008 & 2009.

I've done it again, let time slip away. I have been meaning to write this for the past week and I'm finally now getting to it.

Not just mine thou, I also wanted to show the blocks that the ladies in the 30's club we have at a local quilts shop, Sager Creek Quilts.  How this came about was last month at our meeting I mention how I have been particapating in RSC for the past couple of years and how it is a fun way of using up my scraps. I ask if anyone wanted to join me this year. To my surprise they all say they wanted to, there is 12 of us. And being that our group is focused on the 1930's, the majority  have done their blocks in 30's reproduction fabric. Also since we started last month, this month was the first time we we able to show our block so we have blue and some pink ...

RSC15  January's Blocks I had gotten a late start working on these blocks. Part of the reason was I was away for part of the month but the main reason is I couldn't decide which pattern(s) I wanted to do.  Yeah I know, I have a list of UFO's a mile long and what am I thinking about by even starting another quilt,  let alone 5 . Yes I said 5. Call me crazy but I can reason it out in my mind with the fact I have tubs of scraps that are needing to be used. And even after making all these blocks I believe the tub has gotten bigger. Before I started Afterwards     See w hat I mean.      I believe I have             created a             monster. So here are my blocks The pattern is Red Letter Day by Camille Roskelley for  Thimble Blossom available here for purchase This is a free pattern here on  ...
