April is just about over and I haven't quilted the 3 tops that were on my list. I did sew the backings for them.
I prepared the small apple backing for a project that never got off the ground so I added green borders to make it big enough for one of the Tetris Quilts. I think it would make a great tablecloth, but unfortunately I don't have a table it would fit.
It is the last Saturday for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2013 at So Scrappy. I did manage to finish 3 green blocks for this month's challenge. I am linking up to Sew Scrappy for the last green Saturday of the month. Other participants will be displaying their green projects for April.
I completed 4 more Saw Tooth Star blocks. Although I did not finish them during the season of Lent, I still managed to complete my goal of 40 blocks. I will continue this project until I make a dent in my box of crumb blocks. I have a pile of HSTs waiting to be trimmed so I might have another group finished next week.
I made one more pink block for my rainbow postage stamp blocks. I decided that I would like to have 3 of each color so this will finish the pink group.

At least you have backs prepped - there will come a day of a finish. Love the postage stamp progress - super Rainbow Challenge project. I have one H2H quilt finished and the second is actually ready for quilting. I can't wait to see everyones quilts!
ReplyDeleteLove your postage stamp blocks. With some backs prepped, you are ready to sandwich and quilt. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteI have one H2H quilt finished. Didn't want to wait to the last minute this year! Yahoo.
great progress this month and I love the large stars.
ReplyDeleteI love your sawtooth star blocks! (It is hard to believe that they are made from your scraps!)
ReplyDeleteYou have done well, Katie, the postage stamps are coming nicely and the sawtooth colors are really neat this month. Congrats on your follower hundred (& 1) mark-that's a great goal to meet. It took me a few looks to get that the picnic table shadow was not an accent block !~! Silly eyes doing tricks on me.
ReplyDeleteI really want to make a postage stamp quilt--love your blocks! Congratulations on reaching over 100 followers! It certainly motivates us to know we have someone to share our creations with. :O)

Congratulations! I like your postage stamp blocks - I'm making scrappy ones at the moment - but I think I prefer white with a single colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great giveaway!
I am a fan of pieced backings -- they add a little surprise on the back. I am participating in Hands2Help. Got an early start this year, so I have one quilt done and another underway. Congrats on your follower milestone!
ReplyDeleteNice postage stamp blocks. :) I'm a new follower. Thanks for the giveaway chance.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.

ReplyDeleteSo many pretty blocks - love them all, but I think the pink is my favorite :0)!! Love the backings, too. Hope all is well and to see what you've been up to very soon!! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHello. On a Pinterest post I saw one of your blogs where talked about a non-traditional disappearing 9 patch with dashing. You offered to email instructions if anyone asked. Is this still an option? Thank you!
