But before I share this week's progress, I have to say Happy Veterans Day to my veteran. It hasn't been the best week dealing with Covid, but he made it through, and is feeling better already.
Cheers!
Meanwhile, this week I've continued to make progress on my 2023 Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt projects. Rows 1 - 4 of the bowties are sewn into foursies.
And the split 9s are a quilt top. I just love this - it's an anything goes quilt - my favorite kind!
I've stocked up on batting and some wide backing yardage,
so it shouldn't be too hard to get this finished up fairly soon.
Although, to be honest, there are two older RSC quilt tops in the
"to-be-quilted" line ahead of this one!
Here's another favorite block I revisited this week.
Ice skating penguins and little tiny skiers!

Your split 9-patch quilt is beautiful. I've been eyeing the blocks as you post them, wondering how you would arrange them in a quilt. Now I know and I want to make some.
ReplyDeleteAnother one of those easy but oh-so-effective designs.
ReplyDeletePlease thank Mike for his service for me! Glad he is on the mend. It always amazes me how those "foursies" (love that!) form a kind of circle. LOVE your split nines, and that favorite blocks is the best. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Mike for your service. So glad he's feeling better. Both scrappy projects are looking good. I really like your layout for the split 9 patches. Happy stitching this weekend.

ReplyDeleteA great arrangement for your split 9 patch blocks! And Happy Veterans Day to your veteran, glad he's doing better.
ReplyDeleteSweet tops coming to completion. They're very cheerful and your settings are perfect. So I guess now you have 4 tops in the to-be-quilted pile! Lol! Hope your Veteran is feeling better each day. Covid stinks!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mike, and I'm happy to hear you're on the mend. Love your happy quilt, Diann. Your bowties are coming up joyful too. Great job! ;^)
ReplyDeleteI like the arrangements you are using for your tops -love the scrappy goodness
ReplyDeleteBoth quilt tops are coming along well, nice and colourful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Veteran's Day to your veteran, Diann! I hope he got a free meal somewhere in town today. My dad always enjoyed a steak dinner at Applebees! Great progress on your RSC projects!!! I enjoy seeing all the RSC quilt varieties!
ReplyDeleteI love your split 9-patch quilt! It's so cheery and bright, perfect for the coming winter. My to-be-quilted pile is also quite large, but still fun to look at! Glad your veteran is recovering. Will we ever be done with Covid?
ReplyDeleteI love the spilt top!!! So vibrant.
ReplyDeleteYour split 9 is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! RSC2023 is a success! Awesome quilts! :)
ReplyDeleteI do love the split nine patch block . Always so colorful and interesting!
ReplyDeleteglad he had the vaccine, the new variant is said to be worse... drew doesn't have covid but it's a horror show around here. 10 days now, he's still in bed, they don't know what virus it is.
ReplyDeletei LOVE your scrap quilts!!! the top is a favorite for sure, I love it. How will you quilt it or do you send it out? quilting adds a lot, so it's always a big decision how to quilt one.
Happy Vet's day to Mike, he deserves a big thank you for his work on behalf of our country. He and other put their lives on the line to keep America safe

Happy belated Veteran's Day. May he have a better week this week! I love how those flimsies are coming along. So pretty. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Mike is feeling better. Lots of
ReplyDeleteCovid going around again. I need to get the latest shot. Waited because I have to fly to Houston in mid-Decemeber for my oldest grandson's wedding.
I love your split 9-patch layout and may copy it. I had another layout chosen, but it means I'd have to make 2 more of each color block. Your layout would solve that problem. I'm not getting much done as I hurt my back earlier in the week, dumping a cartload of black walnuts. I wish the deer would add black walnuts to their diet.

Your split-9 is wonderful, so scrappy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE,LOVE,LOVE your split nines! Stealing ideas and settings is a form of flattery right? Hope your hubby is feeling better and thank him for his service.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank your dear husband and you and your family for his service to our country. I hope that he is feeling better. I love the "anything goes" thought! What a fabulous and fun Split 9 patch.
