Rainbow Pinwheel Quit

One of my agility teachers has had a human baby girl. Her dogs had puppies too in 2020. It was a year of staying close to home and having babies. While I needed to make a baby quilt. Yesterday I dropped it off to her. 

Close up of the quilting and binding. I did loops all over. 

On the deck table in the sunshine.

As the quilt is going to agility person I had to do a photo shot out on the equipment. On the teeter just before the wind removed it. 

On a tunnel, the blue and yellows look good with it. 

I love this photo, on a jump. Kind of funny, as last week I was adding coats and blankets to a jump to let my dog see different jumps. Every time she came around to the jump it looked a little different. 

 

2nd Yellow Scrap Saturday

I got the top together. I am so happy to finish the quilt top. It is a baby quilt and the baby is due in March. This is the first quilt top I have finished in the past 15 months. Yes, a long time for me. But I still have to quilt and bind it. 

I used some 1 1/2" strings to do these blocks. I did 5 that started with a light yellow and finish with a darker yellow. then 5 the other way. so a total of 10 blocks. The blocks measure 7 1/5" unfinished size. 

So my wall looks like this for now. 

Nadine (my good Friend) is joining us with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2021. These are her yellow blocks she got done this week. She loves sunflower fabrics and has a few prints with yellow. 

Nadine and I were zooming and sewing together on Sunday with a few of our local sewing friends. 

I will add my post to the other yellow Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2021 over at Soscrappy. 

I am taking a zoom class today called Creative Expressions workshop : Milagro with Dawn Piasta It is hosted by the Edmonton and District Quilter Guilds. I let you know how that goes. Sunday is also a class on Bojagi/ Pojagi or Modern Korean Patchwork. 

 

Yellow Scrap Saturday

 

Sister's Choice blocks were the first to do on my yellow list of blocks. Some of the yellow triangles get kind of lost but maybe that makes the blocks sparkle more. 

Then the next big one of the list was Yellow Pinwheels. I want to have a baby quilt done soon so I needed these. 

I kept going and made more pinwheels, this time in Orange, Turquoise and Blue. So many Pinwheels. 

Next was to lay out my blocks. I have this up on the wall ready to sew together. I am hosting a zoom sew day for the Edmonton and District Quilter's Guild today. I still get so sew.  Getting this top sewn together is my goal for the day. Then I will move on to more yellow. 

Last Saturday I was still not done all my pink. I have been looking though all my blocks and seeing if I have some colours missing, or just need a few more blocks to lay out a top. I needed these 16 patch blocks in Pink, So I got 9 blocks done. 

Then while I still had some pink on the wall, I added the last few blocks. Here is my final wall of Pink for January 2021. I also did 2 more sister choice blocks. I have no idea how many blocks I need to a sister's choice quilt. 

Nadine's Blocks 

My good friend, Nadine, has plans to follow along with us at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year. She has asked me to post her blocks on my blog for her. This past month she got two pink blocks done. One is Broken dishes, she chose this block because she has broken a few mugs and glasses this month.  I am so happy to have her join me in the adventure of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2021. 

I will get this post linked up with Soscrappy. Check out what else everyone is working on. 

Pink Scrappy

 

Planning to join in on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2021. It has been a few year since I played along. To start with I made the Sister's Choice block that Anglia also made last week. 

If you want more ideas for your scraps You should check out the links to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2021. There are so many more links to see and so many great ideas.  

I had many of the units cut and ready to go so they went together for me very quickly. I might make one more before the month is done. 

This Month the Colour is Pink. I have many pink scraps and my box is well sorted. 

Also this week I built pink pinwheel blocks. They will finish up as 4". I am in need of a finished baby quilt by March, a gift for a friend. 

All the Pink I did this week.

 I am kind of a day behind, but yesterday I zoomed with some of my local quilt friends. It also got my mom to join us for a bit. Next week I will try to be on Saturday and not Sunday. 

I will need more pinwheel blocks before the end of Feb so I went ahead and made Red, Green and Purple pin wheels to add to the pink ones. I know I am not following just so for the rainbow challenge but I need more done soon. This should be around half the blocks done. I have not thought what size and I am ok with extras, I might make 2 quilts. 

So The other pink in my house this week is this Pink Amaryllis. I had a bright red one for Christmas but started this one two weeks later. I have a 3rd bulb that is at least another 2 weeks behind, so maybe by the end of the month I will have another one. I hope to keep the plant growing for the 8 months then hope I can get it to bloom again next year.
