Red Round up for September


 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.

  1. 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!

    1. Red 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!

  6. All your touches of red are so pretty! Good luck using up your scraps. Somehow, I always end up with more than when I started.

    1. Thank you. Both blocks were inspired by Cathy of Sane Crazy Crumby quilting blog.

  10. 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.

  11. Linda your ships are fantastic! Your Ticky Tacky House quilt will be so colourful.

  12. Thanks, Maureen. The brighter colours really contrast nicely with the sea and sky fabrics for the Ship blocks.
