Since I'm not in a quilting mood and my design wall is bare I decided to start there. First up are these 16 patches which I put together in 2009 from 2.5" strips from an online swap of red, orange and yellow strips. Here is a closeup picture of these 8.5" blocks
Since I couldn't commit fully to a decision yet on Warm 16 Patches I decided to pull out my Crossroads blocks for RSC13. I am 3 blocks shy of 80 which will be made into 4 Project Linus quilts with a 4x5 block layout. Here is a peek at one top using pink, red, orange, yellow, purple and black & white blocks.
My mind is chock full of ideas for RSC14... too many really. I had the same problem last year and so I'm hopeful that as things wind down into January I'll settle into a plan or at least a short list of ideas.
I'm linking up to ScrapHappy Saturday@soscrappy.
I am having the same trouble deciding on my project for the RSC14--too many options!. I love your Crossroads blocks. That pattern is one of my top contenders for next year.
ReplyDeleteYour crossroads blocks look so happy! The rainbow of colors is a perfect fit. Hope you settle on a pattern for 2014, too many choices can be as bad as too few.
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me. Are you a twin? Is there two of you behind this blog??
ReplyDeleteYour Crossroads blocks look great. Love this layout.
ReplyDeleteGreat 16p blocks too. Have you considered setting them en pointe, or is that being too fussy?
Finding 2 different blocks to use in a layout offers so many possibilities so it will be interesting to see how the hourglass blocks look. Sounds like a good combo.
ReplyDeleteAnd those crossroads blocks look great. I like how you've made the colors flow diagonally.
Deb, with the productive quilting year you've had...you earned that down time! I love the colors of the sixteen patches. The crossroads pattern...can you tell me where to find it? I really like it! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI love your crossroads blocks. I have a hard time deciding on colours and designs to the point where it takes longer than actually making a project.
ReplyDeleteI love the layout of the nine-patches with the solid squares (I know it's the design wall) but that leaves a lot of space to be quilted.
ReplyDeleteYour colourful Crossroads layout looks fabulous!
I like the diamonds which form from the hourglass blocks, this will look nice.
ReplyDeleteThat 16-patch is so sunny and bright. Can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteSeems that I have lost my quilting "mojo" also; I am tooling over to do some scrapbooking until I really "WANT" to sew--altho' I do sew scraps onto my papers--love your colors in this piece...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI vote for the hourglass block between the 16-patch blocks. And I love the Crossroads layout!
ReplyDeleteI'm also rooting for the hourglass between the sweet 16's! Such fun to gaze at your eye-candy!
ReplyDeleteI love the hour glass blocks. I also had to tell you that your crossroads blocks were the inspiration for my latest quilt. I am trying to get it finished in the next 30 hours. I only have to do the handwork on the binding. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble settling back into sewing after the holiday season too. I haven't had time to venture back into anything seriously. Maybe tomorrow.
