Teal chicken, spools, pinwheels

Yes, it's the last Saturday for teal at the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge.  Since its the beginning of the year, I still don't have a firm grasp on my RSC projects for this year. I made a teal chicken although I'm not certain I'm going to follow through with a chicken quilt. Maybe I will just throw all the barnyard animals together and let them fight it out.

Here are the blue-green/green-blue spools.

And although I started the month with these pinwheel blocks, I made more.


Meanwhile, the daffodils are celebrating spring. To honor their arrival, we had a thunderstorm pass through that flattened them to the ground.

That chicken looks like it is speedy to me, I think i would be able to tough it out in a farmyard mmix! The pinwheels are lovely, I really like the layout, so hope your going to make a whole quilt top.

I like the idea of a Barnyard quilt...I've been thinking on it!

I want some daffodils. I had one crocus up because it was in the 60s last week but it snowed a little last night and was around 20 degrees this morning. No wonder everyone around here (but me) is sick.

A part of RSC I like is looking at everyone's fabrics. It never ceases to amaze me that I rarely have any that anyone else has.

Your daffodils are (were?) so beautiful! It's too early for them here in Colorado, but they are starting to show their leaves just a bit above ground. I love all your teal blocks - especially the chicken!

Hope your daffodils recover!

The colors & textures in your stash are always wonderful! I don't miss winter in Central VA, but I do miss daffodils!

I loved your pigs quilt at MidAtlantic! Several people were commenting about it and writing down your name to get the tutorial. I told them you had a whole menagerie of animal blocks.

I love your chicken and I think a barn yard full of colorful characters would make a really fun quilt
