Midweek: RSC collage + something new


 It's been a while since I walked the trail at Sedge Meadow.  74 degrees and sunshine made it most pleasant. 

I saw three bottle gentians!  (The third one is at the lower right.)







 This circle of little heart-shaped leaves came into view just as I was telling Stevens how much I missed him.

In the studio: 

I quilted the September RSC Ohio Stars flimsy (light green and light blue)  on Monday evening.  

Here's a collage of the nine Ohio Stars quilts.  The blue tote bag came about because I trimmed the quilt (before binding) too much.  

These are wheelchair-sized. My plan is to donate them as a group once the entire year's worth are finished.



I packed a stack of 3.5" squares and a piece of sage-green solid to work on when Carolyn and I were in Madison earlier this month. I made a bunch framed HSTs after I finished sewing the Kaffe wedges (which are now a finished quilt).  At home  I kept making framed HSTs until I ran out of the sage.  There was enough of this Kaffe (Mad Plaid) for the setting. 


 Surely my stash can come up with something suitable for the border.

The framed HST units are 3" finished so the four-unit blocks are 6" finished.

So Scrappy RSC

Thanks for the shout out, Jennifer!

  1. Glad you finally put those squares to good use. You certainly did your best to pawn them off on me! (I had to delve into their container to get more 1.5" squares for my latest project, but the ones I brought to WI certainly kept me busy and off the streets.)

  5. The Ohio Star quilts are really fun and will be appreciated by whoever gets them. The framed triangles is a block iI've not seen before. It makes a very interesting quilt.

  6. I'm really appreciating the wheel chair stars (which sounds like a Special Olympics team?). And of course the bottle gentians are a treat - I've only ever seen them one time and the color is intense.

    Cheers,
