Rather than starting a whole new project this year, I am planning to use my WIPs as my RSC projects. I have two projects that will be my main focus:
1. Happy Houses
This is a project on my current WIP list that I haven't worked on in a while. These are Lori Holt houses from an older Quiltmaker magazine and I want to try to make at least one Happy House each month. These do require light blue for the sky and brown for the roofs, so I may need to use yardage (especially of the blue) to continue with these blocks.
2, Top Spin Leaders and Enders
My leader and ender project has made a lot of progress! I'll continue to work on this project all the time (since it is a leaders and enders project!) but I plan to work on it slightly more during the purple, pink, and green months -- including January!
Additionally, I'll be trying to work on whatever other scrappy WIPs that I have that happen to be the colors of the month in addition to my scrappy Stash Bee blocks each month. Purple actually happens to be the color I seem to have the least of currently -- I traded scraps with a friend last year and sent her mainly purple scraps for an all-purple quilt and a good portion of the remaining purple scraps were cut into squares for my Top Spin quilt.
Sharing at Scrap Happy Saturday and Oh Scrap!
Use the RSC to prompt a rotation of your WIPs -- good thinking! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour plan sounds a lot like mine - work on those WIPs and let the colors be the focus.
ReplyDeleteIncorporating your WIPs into the RSC sounds like a GREAT option!! Good luck with making progress on them.
ReplyDeleteThose houses are SO DARLING! How big are those blocks? Wouldnt they be nice in a setting with some trees and ??
ReplyDeleteYour houses look like a fun project! Lots of fun details to look at up close.
ReplyDeleteAlison, can you tellme what issue of Quiltmaker the Happy House block is in? I have a lot of back issues and have been looking for a good house block. I cut strips from yardage or fat quarters all the time to use for scraps. I guess I'm not very good at following rules.
ReplyDeleteGreat plan to use the RSC as a reason to keep those projects moving forward. Happy houses are going to make a great neighborhood someday soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your houses! They'll make a fun project for RSC indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love that happy house block - can't wait to see what you do with all of them!
ReplyDeleteTime in the fun house! Woooohooo! (Guess it's better than time in the BIg house)!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I'm doing much the same as you this year...working the UFOs.
I understand about finishing projects. Your houses are adorable. Good luck on your finishing rainbows in 2017.
ReplyDeleteLove how you are incorporating the RSC Challenge into what works for you! It will be fun to see progress on your projects.
ReplyDeleteOh, the houses are wonderful :) Top Spin is an interesting pattern....can't wait to watch it develop :)
ReplyDeleteI love your houses and your top spins. I am sure you will find many more things to sew this year.
ReplyDeleteThe houses are going to be a fun project this year. Good luck with your RSC UFOs. I have a few that I should really get moved to finished quilts.
ReplyDeleteIts a good idea to carry on with a previous project that needs finishing... I love your houses.
