Sunday Squirrel ~ RBD Block Challenge



My Sunday Squirrel has been put to rest.

I am caught up on the first 3 blocks of the 


Riley Blake Design Block Challenge 2021 ~ Info Here



Here is my

Shining Star Block ~ Free Pattern Here



I dropped everything and started sewing this HERE yesterday. 

Partying with the other squirrelly ones tonight by linking up with ... 




DrEAMi! @ mmm! Quilts


Enjoying the links and trying not to let any more squirrels loose in in sewing room.

I plan to be back sewing my SAHRR tomorrow morning.

Sweet Quilt Dreams, Everyone! 



RBD Block Challenge 2021 ~ Block 1 ~ Pinwheel Star

 


Here is Block #1 for my 

Riley Blake Design Block Challenge Started Here

There are several light prints in this fat quarter bundle

and I decided to try using them as backgrounds in the blocks.


It makes for a very busy block.

I think I like it, though, and may continue along this line.

For a setting I will probably choose a solid or two 

in whatever colors seem to bring the blocks together.

Maybe yellow and white ... which is why I chose this block board for my top photo.


The Fabric Requirements Posted Here

suggest sashing and an outer border.

I may make my own setting. 

Hmmm ... think I shall sleep on this.


Sweet Quilty Dreams!

DrEAMi! ~ Riley Blake Design Block Challenge

I love this fabric. 

It is dreamy.

I bought this last year when it came out with no idea what I would make.

I just had to have the fabric.

It has been one of those pesky little Squirrels in my sewing room

and it has been jabbering loudly at me 

 since I posted about a new block challenge last week, Here

This fabric says it wants me to make this project ...

You may also find this on the 

#RBD Block Challenge FB Group

as well as many inspiring blocks from the group members.

I have been seeing too many pretty blocks in my quilty feeds to resist.

so I printed the blocks and set the fabric on my cutting table, 

right next to the SAHRR fabric that I am currently sewing.

It is 


Fleur by Sedef Imer for Riley Blake Designs

I love her designs and colors.


In my stash I found a lovely, large cut of

Spring on White Blossom by Riley Blake Design

that is a good choice for a background fabric. 


This is looking more and more like it is a DrEAMi that may need sewing. 

Can I really tale on another project?

Am I as nutty as this little squirrel?

Time will tell ... ;)
