Apparently, for me, 2021 is the year of running late. This is what I had hoped to post for the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge 2021 last Saturday. Super spreader Cathy of Sane, Crazy, Crumby quilting is ground zero for this most recent pattern pandemic using the Alison Glass Sun Print pattern. While Gayle of Mangofeet is involved, I'm certain that I got my infection directly from Cathy at Crazy by Design.
And what is a pandemic without a few mutations? So I am going with 3 inch squares and 1.75 inch flip triangles and 1.5 inch border strips. (These are cut, not finished sizes).
Yesterday was full of surprises. First, USPS delivered the package to Cynthia Brunz a day early. Cynthia was the winner of some low volume fabric, so Molly padded the missing volume in her package with the ugliest fabric on the planet. The second surprise was learning that Cynthia is part cat because she seemed to like the padding more than the actual package.
In any case, this means I can identify the fabrics from the last post. The top patch is the reproduction fabric followed by the Nancy Crow millennial fabric. Next, are the two prints that were dresses in high school. (And no, I didn't keep my clothes from high school...these dresses have been keep as fabric in my flat folds since the late 70s.) At the bottom of this batch is a fabric called Ghastlie and while this is the only submerged cat, the other fish in this fabric are also adorably sinister.
I figured the orange/pink/yellow/green print was one of your high school dress fabrics because I totally would have had a high school dress made out of that fabric, too. And it probably would have been my favorite...
ReplyDeleteWell, I don’t mind the purple floral (at least that swatch where I can’t see the streaks caused by badly-planned repeats). And say what you want, but I think the Kaffe dark print is butt ugly. Come to think of it, so is that repro fabric. And I fully expect that Molly will unfriend me now.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love your block mutations!!
Hmmm, I only had two right. And I've earned a lifetime demerit to boot. 2021 is not going to be my year apparently!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm glad I didn't get any of these -- except the Tula cat :-) (but the I never entered to win because I have too many scraps all ready) :-) :-)
ReplyDeleteMy rainbow scrap challenge quilt will also have black and white fabric this year. It's been a while since i actually used them and at one point I had collected a lot of them. I am doing a double Irish quilt with mine...for my brother and his wife for Xmas.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Should I admit to what I thought were your dresses? I really don't want a lifetime ban... So, don't talk, don't tell.... Looks like I only got 3 right!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Whatever shall I do with two lifetime demerits?
ReplyDeleteAt least I admitted that the only one I knew for sure was the Tula. I almost caught the pandemic variant, but so far have successfully warded it off. But the month isn't is half over, so who knows.
ReplyDeletePat
Love those little sq in sq blocks especially that setting you've used for them..really nice--
ReplyDeleteHugs, julierose
Wow, 2 demerits? I am glad I didn't get any of them right! LOL
ReplyDeleteI already made a project with that ugly fabric and will be sharing photos soon. It was the first out of the box I used! Thanks again for the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteWell, I probably would have earned demerits from you both present and past, considering I made a dress of very similar pattern and color in high school. And I wore it a lot.
