All Pink Sailing

I have made the 6 RSC Pink Sailing Boat blocks for June, 2 of each of my 3 sizes.

I bought a few new fabrics for the sea and sky backgrounds earlier in the year but I definitely need a few more to throw into the mix. I don’t want the blocks to look too “samey” ( if that’s a word?)

A nice change from all the blues and greens of the previous months.

Blue sails for RSC 2020

One of the RSC 2020 blocks I’ve chosen to make this year are Sailing boats, in three different sizes.
My aim was to make two of each style blocks. However, as we have already used Teal and now it’s light and mid blues I’ve decided only to make one set of three this month. Mostly because of the style of blocks it is there is a lot of blue already in the blocks before I add the sails made in the chosen colour for the month. I had a piece of batik from a friend which I think works well for “sea” and I’ve been able to change up the sea colour a little by picking out the blues, green and purple sections of the fabric to vary the sea colour. Important when the sails are blue too.

Not so keen on the smallest ship block, not enough contrast between the sail fabric and the sky but I hope when it’s all sewn into a quilt top that will look OK.
