Check out this Mesa Valley quilt using the Tula Pink Spirit Animal prints. It was included in my Sew Sampler box from October. The pattern was very easy and quick to assemble. I decided to use a light tan "sandy" fabric for the background rather than white. If you make this pattern, you can safely reduce the background fabric by 3/4 yard. Also, I recommend pressing the block seams open (even the flying geese piece) to reduce bulk. I pressed to the side only for between the blocks and for the borders.
Also I finished the green RSC 18 blocks for March. Here are the blocks for January, February and March:
On a higher note, I flew last weekend with an instructor for my biennial review. Private pilots like me are required to meet with a flight instructor every two years to make sure we are still operating safely. We spent some time reviewing charts and regulations, and swapping a few stories. Then it was time for my flight review. We took off and headed out to practice some flight maneuvers. It was a rather bumpy flight because the winds were changing directions due to a cold front that was passing through later that evening. In fact, I discovered the winds switched to a completely opposite direction after my takeoff. After circling to land in the right direction, my landing was thankfully smooth and uneventful. So with a fresh signature in my logbook, I am ready to explore the skies once again.
Your RSC Squared Away Sampler blocks are looking great. Congrats! for passing you re-certification with flying colors!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have a perpetual license, but the FAA requires certain actions to keep my license active. I noticed you love mystery quilt patterns, too. Last year I did four at once. Luckily none of them were too intense.
DeleteI have considered joinging the subscription box. I am not all that interested in the patterns because I like to come up with my own, but the monthly fabric surprise would be very fun. The only thing is that I just received a mystery box at a huge discount from Missouri Quilt Company and was not at all impressed. I am a little nervous about the "surprise". If you have truly liked most of yours, perhaps I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYour RSC blocks look fantastic together. Are you putting them together in one quilt like a row quilt?
Congrats on earning your relicensure points. I understand relicensing in that I ama a teacher. Different test but the same concept.
Hi! I have enjoyed the Sew Sampler boxes, although I agree most of the patterns don't interest me. I like the fabrics and notions--and of course the treat of getting a box full of surprises.
DeleteThe RSC blocks are just collecting right now. I think Angela at superscrappy has these on point and mixed around, but we won't know until later this year.
