Welcome to Midweek Makers!
Before I get into sharing, I have announcement regarding the future of Midweek Makers. With a heavy heart, I've decided to end our weekly get-togethers, with Dec 25, 2024 being the last link up. Over the years, it's been great fun seeing what everyone has created, sharing their triumphs and hiccups, but it's time to move on. I'll share more about my decision next week.
As for my quilt share, these are the last two scrap storage blocks for my RSC2024 quilt. I made an under bed box of landscape fabric and a shoebox of stripes, just as I suspected I would do.
If you study the color locations, you'll see they are both grouped and placed next to colors that they play well with. As for all the busy prints and such at the top, I'm just telling myself that those are the 'out of reach at the top of the storage unit cause they're not used much' boxes. Seriously, who wouldn't put the most used fabrics within easy reach??? Now it's on to stitching these blocks into their compartments and completing the top.
The amount of fabric for each block represents what I have in yardage, which is quite a bit of landscape fabric and very little in the way of stripes. Both of these blocks contain very little scraps - I was totally going for the theme.
Once those were done, I went through another reorganizing of the blocks, keeping the ones I had at the bottom and moving around the busier ones at the top.

With winter upon us, and feeling a bit blue, I'm highlighting quilts with those themes. There's this pretty snowflake quilt that Grace and Peace Quilting quilted,
