Night Vision Quilt, Color Block Stars, and a Scrap Rainbow

 Welcome to Treadlestitches!  Thanks for stopping by!

One little quilt finished got finished this week!  I showed the top back before we went on vacation, so it was on the top of my list when we got back.  The pattern name is Night Vision, but I think it looks like a pinwheel, especially in these colors.

The cats were sleeping on it, so I washed it yesterday after I got the binding on.  It's extra crinkly, probably because the blocks did not lie perfectly flat.  C'est la vie!

All the prints I added to the blocks except the binding (sashing, border, and backing) are polka dots!  I didn't even realize I was doing that at the time.  A friend of mine loves dotted fabric, and has got me into loving it too.  BTW, all these polka dot prints were bought second hand.

I laid the quilt out on the floor to take another photo, but it was attacked!  Can you see the culprit's tail?  

All that exertion tired Snicky out, so he went to sleep under the china cabinet.

His sister, Little Lizzy, was looking out the window, sitting next to the Dead Plants Society.  Poor plants!  I have lots of work to do here.

A few more Color Block Stars got made, this time in green, as we finish up the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2025.  The "calm" one above is for the block drive for Many Hands and Many Hearts.  (Click HERE for directions.)

And here's the wild one, made from novelty fabrics.  Can you guess which one I love the best lol?

This one is a bit of a hybrid.  It's the first one I made, and I didn't really think about the recipients.  Are the novelty fabrics, like the Packers print, too much?  Should I send it to Cynthia, or keep this one for my wild version?  I can easily make her another calm one.

Is this a scrap monster, or a mini Mount Scrapmore?  No, it's just a pile of strings, most of which were given to me by my friend Joey.  The pile was bigger before I started a new project this week (more on that when I make more progress). 

While sipping my tea this morning I sorted the strings into a scrap rainbow.  I'm thinking of making string blocks again as part of next year's RSC.  It's so much fun using them up making something colorful and useful.

Oh dear, here I am planning MORE blocks, when my box of RSC block sets is overflowing!  Maybe I'll get to work on that today.

Have a wonderful week ahead, everyone!  And Happy Quilting!
