Welcome to Treadlestitches!
This little quilt is finished at last. I showed the top a couple of weeks ago. A big stack of these blocks were donated to our quilt group, and I finished some of them into a child's quilt to donate.The blocks were a little wonky, so I had to trim them down to be the same size. They would not have lined up properly if set side by side, so I added the narrow sashing.
The backing is regular cotton, but was once made into a tablecloth at a girl scout camp. A friend recently passed the tablecloths onto me to use as backing, and it has worked well. They must not have used the tablecloths very much at all. (I used another tablecloth on the back of the Jumping Jacks quilt I showed at the end of August.)
This is such a fun time of year for those of us who participate in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It's time to start putting quilts together from the blocks we've made all year! I am working on a couple, but I'm also still making blocks!
Pure chaos! Wild and crazy.
So now, am I done making RSC 2024 blocks? Maybe! How about you?
Last Sunday, Hubby and I went to the big quarterly flea market in Elkhorn. It was perfect weather, just a lovely day.
Lots of beautiful quilts were displayed for sale. Prices were reasonable for the most part.None of them came home with me, although the rose quilt on the right was very tempting! I'm no longer collecting quilts. But I can still enjoy looking.
No photos of the grandsons this week, sorry. They were sick two days, and not here very long after school otherwise. Nothing serious, just the usual bugs kids get when school starts, and they're perfectly well now. Next week they have a day off school, and we're going to make Halloween cookies and go to the apple orchard.
Thanks so much for reading! Have a lovely week!
