RSC14 Catch Up

I've missed making Angela's RSC Sampler blocks since January so when I had a couple of free hours this afternoon I picked through my scraps and put these 4 blocks together. Bowtie, Four Corners and Jacob's Ladder from February's list and Friendship Star in shades of teal for March.
Those pink blocks are going to have to be scattered in the final quilt as they jangle my eyes next to each other! I've never made Bowtie or Friendship Star blocks before and could see making lots more of them one day.

My Thimbleberries Jacob's Ladder quilt that I finished last fall is one of my favorites. It is such a versatile and classic block.
Using the Easy Angle Ruler to make the HSTs helps these blocks go together so smoothly - what a great tool. I'm linking up to ScrapHappy Saturday@soscrappy and look forward to seeing what the rest of the RSC14 quilters have been stitching up!

    You've had a productive afternoon and your blocks are too cute. One of my favourite blocks is the friendship block - I used it for my RSC last year.

    I think your pink blocks look great! Bowties are one of my favorite blocks to make, and you can do lots of different layouts with them.

    I just finished a Jacob's ladder too! I love the block and it always looks great. I also love the easy angler ruler it is so versatile.

    Pink jangles my eyes any day :) Love the jacob's ladder quilt. I've made one myself and can attest to how much easier life is with an Easy Angle.

    The pink is bright but it looks really nice up there with that teal block. Very pretty blocks.
