As usual, I got an early start on my Friday Night With Friends. I spent most of the day cutting out the neutral fabrics for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts so I should be able to get the blocks finished really quickly when the next color is announced.
I also cut out the rest of the pieces for the Rhododendron Trail filler blocks. Bonnie Hunter's directions said we should cut out squares and trim them off to be triangles before attaching the border. I decided to cut out triangles rather than squares because I was able to use smaller scraps and I think I wasted less fabric.
I also finished assembling the 18 filler triangles for the on-point setting.
Thanks to Cheryll for hosting Friday Night With Friends. I look forward to joining you each month.
Sounds like you had a busy and productive day.
ReplyDeleteI did. Thanks. I hope you also had a good day.
DeleteVery smart cutting.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I figured it made the most sense to cut everything out at once, then I could actually put the scrap bin away for now.
DeleteA busy day with lots done. xx
ReplyDeleteIt was. It felt good to have a plan.
DeleteVery productive FNwF...& some day work too...
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the quilt ... xox
It was a good day. Much better than I originally expected. I guess I was in the mood.
DeleteIt is good to get the prep work out of the way then you can sit and sew.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. I'm enjoying RSC as much as I hoped.
DeleteYou had a very productive evening, lovely blocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope you had a good evening too.
DeleteHow's that Rhodo Trail coming along? Looks like you're nearing the end. I collected the clues and will one day make one myself. I thought this year's Bonnie Hunter mystery was a really pretty one. Didn't see any "less-than-pleasing" versions ... great year!
ReplyDeleteIt's the next project. Hopefully I'll finish it in the next week.
DeleteGosh, you got plenty done! Good forward planning - and nice to see your Rhododendron Trial growing and looking like it's near the finishing line too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've made really good progress. I'm way behind on Rhododendron. Those hourglass blocks have been slow going.
