I have been determined not to let January go by without pulling an older UFO out of the to-be-quilted closet and moving it forward. This is Masala Box, a design by Sew Preeti Quilts, on my design wall in November of 2022. I purchased Preeti's pattern in January of 2022 and made two blocks every month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I love this design and was happy with the look of it as a rainbow quilt, so can not tell you why I've let it sit unfinished for so long. But not anymore! I have stocked up on batting and backing yardage, and last Sunday I got it layered, spray basted, and ready to quilt!
Stitching along, horizontal lines first.
It's fun to look at the scrap pieces as they move on by. There are lots of penguins in this quilt!
And because January is the month of pink for the RSC - here's a favorite block.
Penguins on pink!

I remember when you made these blocks! Definitely time to get it made into a finished quilt! Very appropriate quilting! Gail at the cozy quilter.
ReplyDeleteShame on you for waiting so long! My Masala Box quilt hangs in the Devo sewing room and I get to enjoy it (and think of you) every time I go to sew.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good to get going on a UFO! This is a pretty one with all those colors and of course - penguins. :)
ReplyDeleteI have tagged this quilt pattern more than once. Love how yours looks. One of these days I'll make it!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see this one getting some love!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful quilt top to pull out and finish. Looks like you've gotten a good start on that.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a great finish. I bet you will be done soon!
ReplyDeleteI think after awhile we wonder why we folded up something and put it aside only to pull it out several years or more later and wonder why we waited! I am going to try to keep going through some of my project boxes and make some finishes this year from old projects. That is a good one you are working on. I might have to try to start machine quilting some of the smaller quilts this year.
ReplyDeleteI loved this quilt when you made it and still do today. It's a great pattern for RSC. Hope you finish it this month. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteA simple design. Using the rainbow colors gives makes it come alive.

Yippee! I loved those blocks when you were making them & they look great as you quilt them. 2025 goal for me is also to get an old WIP done each month. So far I'm on track but it's only one month in to the year!
ReplyDeleteThat looks super cute as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt, Diann! Happy finishing!
ReplyDeleteOh Diann! Those blocks have become a beautiful flimsy. Happy to see you quilting it. Are you using a Pfaff?
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good feeling to get an older quilt heading to the finish line. But its not really that old, just a couple of years.
ReplyDeleteThat pattern worked great as an RSC quilt, and I'm so glad you are getting it finished. It's going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat job finishing, Diann!!! It's a gorgeous RSC quilt!!! Fun prints, too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun way to use a lot of squares! That background fabric appears in several of my quilts. It pulls in the colors of your blocks nicely.
ReplyDeleteI do love that pattern. It has been on my someday list for a while now and seeing yours in the finishing stages might help it to bubble up to the top of the list. What a great way to put so many beautiful rainbow scraps together.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Masala Box came out so pretty and will certainly be fun to quilt with all it’s bright colors!
ReplyDeleteGood for you to move that project forward! It is a great pattern! Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Great job making progress.
ReplyDeleteI too remember these blocks. So pretty and especially nice to see the fabrics up close. Nice to move it along, heh.

Ohh I am so glad you pulled it back out - its kind of springy - maybe that will help the snow melt? ( okay most of ours is melted - but you know what I'm saying right?)
