Midweek Makers #457

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Another scrap storage box! For the October RSC2024 lights, I hit my bag of white scraps, which had plenty to play with. The next decision was what size block best fits the quilt. Even though I would have preferred more shoe box size blocks, I opted for the tall storage box block. The reason has to do with the lid.

Because I was dealing with white scraps and all my blocks have white lids, the tall box block contains the least amount of white lid. Therefore, I avoid the confusion of where the box ends and the lid begins. Makes sense right? Hope I'm not the only one who would think of these things!

Some very nice finishes were shared last week. Did you see the cute Polaroid quilt Patchouli Moon Studios made?

Or the very lovely Radiant Blues quilt from Gretchen's Little Corner?

And another Snowflake finish, this one from Vicki's Crafts and Quilting?

Well done everyone!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

As promised, this week I tackled my grey scraps for RSC2024. Here's both light grey and medium/dark grey shoe box blocks. Glad I sorted them into two piles,  otherwise one box would have been quite the jumble of values.

Next week, I'll tackle white. Haven't quite decided which block size I'll make for that one. Depends on the scraps I have and what the quilt needs.

I'm always impressed with the quilt projects that are shared at each Midweek Makers, and this week is no exception. From Grace and Peace Quilting, her finished quilt-along quilt, Mia,

an in-progress crumb quilt (good to see more crumbs!) over at Crafts, Cavies and Cooking,

and this light/dark mystery quilt that advances and recedes over at Quilting and Learning. 

See what I mean? Such interesting projects!!

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Before moving onto lights for October's RSC2024, I made a quick check of my loose HST's bag. Low and behold, there were enough black (and white) HST's to make ten - yes, 10 - Broken Dishes blocks! Funny thing is, I don't remember what quilt project they originally came from, but I sure had a lot of them.

Given that these are black and white, I guess I'm bridging both September and October for RSC. Did I get lucky or what??? Next week, I'll move onto the lights, probably white or grey.

Last week's party had some nice shares. Did you see the progress on Buckeye Beauty from Alycia Quilts?

Or the adorable Scrapberries from Pinker n Punkin Quilting?

And not to be left out, the creative insertion of fabric amongst Christmas Pineapple blocks over at Bell Creek Quilts?

What's your creative share this week?
