As I've been working on Blueberry Taffy this week, it's been fun to revisit all the scrappy blocks that are going into it. The aqua blocks are some of my favorites!
I've been slowly measuring, cutting, and sewing the sashing strips that connect the rows together. Since I decided not to add cornerstones, I needed to mark where the seams were between the blocks so they could match up from one row to the next.
It's all been going together nicely! Just one more row to do, and the final outer borders. You might notice that the top border was already sewn on - that was a bit of a mistake, lol! I originally flipped the orientation of the first two rows when I laid them out to work on sewing them together, and then realized something didn't look right. Good thing I planned to use the light blue for the outer border, too - no seam ripper this week!
And along the way I sewed up two more Gameboard blocks - the dark blue and the aqua ones in the bottom row.

Blueberry Taffy looks fabulous! Isn’t it funny how we sew with out scraps every month but they never get used up… I need another RSC quilt or two as I finished up the one I started in January. Or, maybe I should just work on quilting the tops in the to be quilted pile…. 🤔

Blueberry Taffy looks great with that sashing, Diann;))) And your Gameboard blocks are mounting up beautifully;))) Nice WIPS

Love both of these projects but the Taffy is especially appealing! I love the colors!
I like the addition of the sashing for sure.
I really love your taffy blocks, and that secondary pattern formed is so neat. The aquas are really pretty. Nice Gameboard blocks - I remember I saved your idea to make my Hubs one but haven't started on it yet.
Blueberry Taffy - turned out so cute! Loving your Gameboard blocks too. I'm about ready to layout my own Gameboard blocks and see how many more I might need.
Your taffy look good enough to eat! So fun seeing that one moving into the top stage.
Both your projects look great! I like the Blueberry Taffy with its ombre design from light to dark taffy blocks.
Two wonderful quilts coming together. Blueberry Taffy is fabulous. Those Gameboard blocks are looking good too!
Oh, the color gradient you created for Blueberry Taffy is divine! Way to go, Diann!
The scrappy wrappers on your taffy create a wonderful sense of 3D or sun drenched candies.
Great scrappy blocks, Diann!!!
Lovely, lovely! The Blueberry Taffy is super fun!
I too love your Blueberry Taffy quilt. It's coming along so lovely. Enjoy! ;^)
