A New Quilt Top and RSC Yellow Update

Somewhere around mid-July I started a new quilt, one that Dayna had sent a screenshot of and asked if I could make. Out came the graph paper, then came the math, followed by a test block, more math, then a TON of cutting, and, three weeks later, where I sewed nothing but this quilt, I have the top!

On average, one star block took me one day to make. The quilt is big. Lots of white. Pretty dramatic! I’m positively pleased (as punch😉) with all the pretty points. And Dayna loves it, so mission accomplished. 

Now to find some white Minky for the backing. Her other request. Here is the original screenshot. 

I can see a cushion. A baby quilt in a completely different palette. Yes, as you may recall, I’ve been writing the pattern. In the photo, this looks like a microfleece blanket, very plush, or maybe it’s an antique? Or made to look antique?

To celebrate and clear my quilt palate, so to speak, I made my August Rainbow Scrap Challenge block, which was yellow. 

Here they all are at present in no particular order. I will go out on a limb to say that the colour for September will be purple. Whether I stay with nine blocks, perhaps with a border, or go for 12 remains to be seen.
