OMG and RSC

Short for One Monthly Goal and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I was able to complete my OMG this busy month (just this morning).  I wanted to make 15 Quilt Stars blocks and here they are. 

Here is what one block looks like up close. 

I then laid all 25 blocks out to get a peek at what the quilt top will look like. 

A little sashing and narrow borders and this top will be done.  That will likely be another OMG.  Quilty Stars is a pattern by Quilty Love.  Of course I made this completely with scraps and bits from my stash, I do have more blue than any other colour, with this quilt top I may have made the smallest dent.

This month I also finished a few blue scrappy triple four patch blocks for a quilt called UFO Complete from the book Simple Strategies for Block-swap Quilts, by Lynn Roddy Brown. 

I also started some blue leave potholders 

... but that’s as far as I got, whey will be completed during the last two months of RSC which are usually no colour months so that we can complete some Rainbow projects.

Be sure to check out Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal August Finish Link Up and Soscrappy’s Blue Scrappy Saturday.  Thank you for dropping by and let’s see what quilt project I come up with for my September OMG.

Quilty Stars Goal

I really liked Quilty Love’s Quilty Stars quilt and thought I might participate in the Summer scrappy sew along.  However I’ve been on vacation and have my grandson visiting, so I haven’t been keeping up with weekly updates.  I do like to participate in Elm Street QuiltsOne Monthly Goal (OMG), so for August I hope to complete the remaining 15 Quilt Star blocks. 

So far I have 10 and another 15 will give me enough for a queen size quilt.

I moved my fountain on to my deck so I can hear it better - just love the sound of gurgling water - and now I can sit at my kitchen table and watch the birds drinking, it’s fun to try and capture a picture or two. 

I’m getting this post in just under the wire and now it’s time to get some piecing done.
