The only sewing related goal where there was any progress was coming up with design concept for the quilt for Drama Teen's journalism teacher. DT was assistant editor of the Mid-High School's newspaper last year and is the editor for the creative arts magazine for the high school this year. This quilt is one of four she's asked me to complete before graduation next year. The three others are for her best buds. We've got the pattern picked out for first and the concept, Zombies In Paris, (don't ask) picked out for the second. We've hit a wall on any ideas for the third friend,
The only Rainbow Scrap Challenge progress was to finish a second orange Twinkle Star block.
Twinkle Stars, Tutorial by Andrea Feldbush of Soscrappy |
That black and orange block is perfect for Halloween. I'm almost done with orange block number three. Then there are three more left to cut and stitch. I did start thinking about this month's brown blocks. I found set of brown squares that were part of a layer cake that I bought last year. Those fabrics will greatly extend my range of brown fabrics to use in this year's blocks. I just don't have much brown in the stash.
That's all from me this week. There are more rainbow brights posted over at Soscrappy.

It is funny to hear what fabrics people have more or less of. So many are finding a surprising stash of brown, I had to dig for oranges. Sounds like you have a lot of requests to get finished off before graduation. Looking forward to seeing those zombies in Paris.
You know we're all dying to hear about the Zombies in Paris now!
Another beautiful Twinkle Star block.
Another lovely block and I think birthdays and girls nights out are great reasons not to sew :)
Lovely orange twinkle blocks. Four quilts to finish up before graduation - you'll be busy!
FOUR quilts plus one for DT, I'm sure. Good luck getting them ALL done before graduation!!!
That is a lot of sewing in the next 7-8 months! Looking forward to Zombies in Paris.... =)
Great blocks! DT can't really be graduating next year, can she? She just went to high school!
I love this block so much I chose it for the Block Lotto this month. Thanks for the inspiration.
this is the coolest sample of stars! I want to make a whole halloween quilt with them because of you... LeeAnna
Your second block is also a winner, so different but colorful. Great going!
They are both beautiful, but you know I really want to know about the Zombies in Paris. I won't ask though.....
More great blocks...but inquiring minds want to know about the Zombies in Paris!
Love love love your stars (as usual!), but really wanting to see more about Zombies in Paris!
Your stars are wonderful. That blue is just exploding away from the orange.
I always like your color combos. I'm anxious to see your finished quilt. I might have to try these next year for RSC. Zombies in Paris? Sounds like a whole lot of fun.
Beautiful stars. You have me curious about those Paris Zombies ??
Your choice of colors really makes those stars sparkle. Awesome job, Kate!!!
