Midweek Makers #458

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

My Scrap Storage quilt is taking shape, and I'm making shoe box storage blocks to fill in both empty spots and to make the quilt longer. I have found I've had to be a bit more thoughtful about the new blocks, scrounging through the scraps and now yardage bins to find fabrics to make the blocks work.  Keeping with the RSC2024 October theme, here's a few more 'lights', one in pale yellow, the other mint.

I'll continue the scrounging until I get enough blocks! 

There were some fabulous finishes last week. Check out the Eiffel Tower from Quilting is in My Blood,

Grace and Peace Quilting finished her Prisms quilt,

and Making a Lather showed off her Diamond Strings scrap quilt.

Nice work everyone!

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!!
