Of course my productivity does not show it, but I really have been working on the RSC15. I have several good bases for some baby quilts with the fish and the geese that fell by the way side. Yeah, I left them behind in the dust, literal dust. I have an idea for the fish that will be cute. Grouping in schools with a momma fish should use more scraps up..........that is my current plan, anyway.
Here are my foxes, I think there are 36 of the cute little guys. They will need some spacing in the final set but I am still thinking they are fabulously cute. They are 6 wide by 7 long so they will finish at 5.5 x 6.5. Who knows how big the final quilt will be.
The color for July is red so I need to sit and make some red foxes. Finally a natural fox color! LOL
The reds should definitely brighten things up. These are tending toward the cool side of foxy.
And this is the Asterisk. There is a fourth one made but of course I can't find it. So I will have to fill in the colors I am missing and do the July red. Four more, then.
This will be a fabulous quilt! I definitely love the idea of 12 asterisks dancing along the front of a fun quilt.
hmmm...I wonder where that errant asterisk is?
Mental Note: make easier blocks next year for RSC16.
That is OK, when I clean stuff up looking for it, I hope to find the circle templates for the long arm I bought at QuiltCon.
I guess I am off to make foxes and a lot of asterisks!
I think I like the foxes all grouped together like that- a den of foxes- yes
ReplyDeleteLove your mental note and your quilt-itude! I need to somehow remember that for any bees that I join. It seems that I jump in, forget deadlines, and then desperately throw something together. lol It's my signature, I guess.
ReplyDeleteYou could always make lots of extra red foxes and mix them in. Then the brighter colors will overpower the darker ones. Of course, these look great. I said I would make some asterisks--guess I should get on that!
Oh, you are getting that spam email from obat kuat too. I didn't realize you had made so many of the fox blocks. They are great! I like the asterisks too.
ReplyDeleteI love the RSC, too! Productivity doesn't always mirror enthusiasm for a project. For me, it has varied from month to month depending on what else life has thrown in the path to my sewing machine!!
ReplyDeleteYup - easier blocks or fewer of them for a project . . . with you on that one!
ReplyDeleteOr you can carry a project into the next year. But I agree that simpler can be better because the rainbow colors tend to overpower the intricacies of the piecing...as I am finding out myself...
ReplyDeleteI love the foxes! Looks like you are making a lot of progress. And I hear you on the easier blocks for next year. I always make that promise and then get sucked into something else. Ah, well. They're all pretty in the end!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the addition of a RED fox (or two...)
ReplyDeleteLove the foxes and your asterisks!
ReplyDeleteI wonder where that asterisk wandered off to? Maybe he is playing hide and seek? Good luck finding it. The foxes look great as a group.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute little foxes!
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many quilts come from your RSC efforts they're going to be FUN!
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right...foxes will make a fabulous quilt. They are just too cute.
