How can it be time to bid farewell to July already? Yikes, it will soon be Christmas at this rate.
July’s color for the RSC14 was red. I managed to get my red Soul Searching block in just under the wire this month. My guess put next month’s color at orange, but it is moving along quickly. I love the red!
Now there are seven….. I am not really pleased with my blue block (the first one) and I may remake that one in the end. I like it better when the intensity of color matches better.
Since I have been spending a lot of time with my mom in rehab since her surgery I have had some peaceful hand sewing in the works. See the gingham???? It’s a project for the upcoming See You in September blog hop. My date is September 11th – sadly, an easy one to remember.
Welcome August!
I think your rainbow quilt is going to be awesome! I had intentions of following along this year, but somehow it never happened. can't wait to see what you do in August.
ReplyDeleteLove your rainbow blocks! And your little sneak peek is intriguing. Hope your Mom is doing well. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose are looking really great together : )
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow blocks look gorgeous laid out together. It will be breathtaking when finished. Your sneak peek is very interesting...
ReplyDeleteI love this block - going to be stunning when completed.
ReplyDeleteI agree, July went by too quick. Although, I'm not sad to see the triple digit temps start heading out.
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow blocks and the sneak peek. You are right. Christmas will be here before you know it.
ReplyDeleteJuly flew by even though the heat has really gotten to me. I'm hoping for a cooler August. Love your rainbow!
ReplyDeleteJune and July blew in and blew out so fast. I like your rainbow quilt and dont think you need to remake the blue one.
ReplyDeleteHobby Lobby is all ready for Christmas, complete with a plethora of little trees in all colors of the rainbow. They'd match your block perfectly. :o) Very nice red to add to your blocks. My niece hates her birthday, September 11.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow blocks look great all laid out together! And I love the look of your handwork piece.
ReplyDeleteI really like this having your background suits it perfectly...and I am sad we only have only one more month of summer, at least here...our days are already so much cooler, we haven't had the ac on except for one day
ReplyDeleteI really like all your rainbow blocks and I would leave that blue one just as it is.
ReplyDeleteYikes, it's August 1st here now! I could believed when I turned the calendar this morning! Your RSC14 blocks are beautiful. I see what you meant about the blue block. Well you would get a cushion out of that block if you are replacing it. Hope your mom is recovering well - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy color blocks. I see nothing wrong with the blue one. Blue is restful color and this block gives the eye some rest from the vibrant colors in the other blocks. JMHO
ReplyDeleteYour gingham project looks sew interesting! ... Looking forward to seeing it in September ... :) Pat
For sure time is marching on along. Pretty quilt this will be so sunny and happy. Hope your Mom is coming along good with her PT.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow blocks are just gorgeous. You've chosen the most amazing fabrics for each block. Hope your mom is doing better and better each day.
ReplyDeleteI am loving the blocks as they are and orange would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteYes Christmas is creeping up quickly. Do you have another stocking to make??
You have such a good eye for color, Mary! I would never have noticed the blue block not being as intense. Sorry for your blog hop day - perhaps they should have a day of remembrance instead and move them all forward one day?
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Can't wait to see what your handwork reveals. You have peeked my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how fast it's gone, isn't it? And in our neck of the woods, what tends to be the hottest month instead set record lows! I hardly feel like we've had any summer yet!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow what a striking block that red one is! August is here and soon it will be fall again....my favorite time of year in El Paso although I have really been enjoying this summer.........hmmmmm interesting project for your blog hop.....
ReplyDeleteYour blocks is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to see what you are working on with gingham and hope your mom is doing well.
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom is doing well after her surgery! I see those little ants in the log cabin block--I looked around online for them but didn't see them in my usual internet stores. They are the cutest low volume fabric ever!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's august! That quilt is going to be gorgeous! Love the colors!
ReplyDeletePrayers for your sweet mother's recovery!
Hi Mary! Love, love your rainbow blocks, it's going to be an awesome quilt. Hope your Mom is doing better. XOXO

ReplyDeleteYour rainbow quilt is looking so pretty already! I like the sneak peek, can't wait to see the rest. Wishing your mom a speedy recovery.

I'm loving these blocks and the colors you've used! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I'm intrigued by your Sept 11th reveal, and will look forward to seeing it. Your blue block reminds me of when they laid the floors in our house, and I wanted them to even out the tones and colors, rather than just randomly laying them down. I guess it was the quilter in me! (And no, they didn't even out the colors, but I've gotten used to most of the boards.)

Oh! I can't wait to see that project for the blog hop!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought all the blocks matched really well in the photo...
