I never have many red fabrics in my stash and at present I have virtually none because I used most of what I had making the baby quilt I am currently working on.
So I literally used pretty much all of my Red scraps using 3.5” squares gifted to me by Wendy early this year and bits left over from the baby quilt.
So, here are my Ship blocks, only 5 because I didn’t have any different scraps to make a second Tall Ship.
Then I made One 49 x 1.5” squares block, a Crumb block and 8 Ticky Tacky houses. Happy with them all.
Joining up with Angela’s So Scrappy RSC 2020 blog.
Love your ships with their red sails and the cute houses, too! My red scraps seem to come and go, too - I have worked with red a lot this year, and now my reds are thin!
ReplyDeleteRed is always thin in my stash and I don’t really know why. So when you start with thin, use most of that in a baby quilt , you are pretty much left with nothing!
DeleteThose sails make me smile! Great use of the red scraps you did have.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove, love, LOVE your RED-sailed ship, RED-roofed houses, and all the scrappy bits in between!!! :o))
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am enjoying making all of these blocks.
DeleteWhat a wonderful selection of red blocks. I especially like the Tall Ships one. That's a lovely kitty you have in your header photo.
ReplyDeleteThe kitty is our beautiful cat Koshka who died many years ago a5 the age of 16. A beautiful clever boy.

ReplyDeleteAll your touches of red are so pretty! Good luck using up your scraps. Somehow, I always end up with more than when I started.
ReplyDeleteIn this case I have less red scraps than when I started - mostly crumbs!
DeleteLove your tiny houses and tall ships!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Both blocks were inspired by Cathy of Sane Crazy Crumby quilting blog.
DeleteWow you must be low on red scraps if you couldn't get all your blocks done. They are coming along nicely..
ReplyDeleteLiterally crumbs left. I ought to take a photo of what red bits and pieces I actually have left!
DeleteMy what a selection of cute scrappy blocks you have!
ReplyDeleteLove the different sea and sky fabrics in those ships.
Thanks, I bought several fabrics suitable for sea and sky at the beginning of the years when I decided to make the Sail ships for RSC 2020 because I didn’t have much that was suitable in my stash.
ReplyDeleteLinda your ships are fantastic! Your Ticky Tacky House quilt will be so colourful.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maureen. The brighter colours really contrast nicely with the sea and sky fabrics for the Ship blocks.
