So I was so ahead of myself (who me?) that I got my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) pink hexies for February done in one sitting, before the month even started! You can see them here. So what was I supposed to do the rest of the month while I gazed upon all the wonderful pink blocks at the RSC at So Scrappy week after week?? I can only resist for so long.. so of course I came up with some ideas (surprise.. surprise).
This is why I should stay off of the computer (Blogging, Pinterest, etc.) for awhile.
Some small 6" liberated stars would be very cute. I remembered making a few when I was working on the liberated star blocks back in September. These are smaller than those 10" blocks....but that is what makes them so adorable!

So of course I had to make the blue blocks for January to catch up. :-)
And then somewhere in my overloaded brain I thought about a paper pieced block. Hmmm... maybe a paper pieced teapot block... which would become a teapot wallhanging. A teapot in a different color for each month of the challenge. (what was I thinking??)
I found this one on eQuiltPatterns.com. Needless to say I was off and running and definitely in need of an intervention.

Now, I am not responsible for this. :-) But I wanted to share since they fit so well with the RSC color this month. (pink.. if you haven't guessed)
My co-worker, Maya, has been making these adorable crocheted, catnip infused, cat toys. How cute are they???
They are cat tested and cat approved. Here is her cat, Ghillie, with his little fish cat toy.
I can attest that they are very popular at my house! >.<
Stop by So Scrappy to see some very creative pink projects underway. It is a bit of Spring during this artic blast some of us are living with.
Happy Stitching!

Great little star blocks. I love the tea pot block. I'll have to go find that one!
ReplyDeleteSorry that you got carried away! Love those wonky stars though -- how could you resist. As for the rest. Well, they don't have to carry on unless you want them to. Scraps in blocks are much nicer to save than the unloved variety.
ReplyDeleteI do understand the "must keep playing with XXXXX" color thinking! Your stars are terrific and so is the teapot idea!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! I LOVE the stars. They even look pretty nice in blue. ; )
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice when we can let our mind wander down the lovely Path of Abandon, and indulge in whatever creative passion we choose?
I would say no to an intervention for you, but encourage you to keep drinking whatever tea it is that makes you do these lovely things. Keep it up, and keep blogging it all.

Lots of pretty pinks in some really fun blocks. I really like the teapot block. That's going to be a very cute quilt.
ReplyDeleteHA! Gotcha doing teapots with me?? I like yours a lot!
ReplyDeleteThose little stars are waaaaay fun to look at with all the wonkiness and patterning! Cool stuff girl!
LeeAnna at not afraid of color
lol I have that teapot pattern pinned on my pinterest , I think the word "rainbow" is messing me up cause I'm expecting my blocks tohave a rainbow effect in which they do not lol! love your star blocks!
ReplyDeleteLOve your stars...I"m so liking brights with white background lately!! Yours really "pop". Wish I had a kitty....but just Jackson and our little blind dog, but those mice are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove that you got carried away. Look at all you did...wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love to make little blocks. Yours are adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful fabric scraps! Love the tea kettle block. Wish I liked paper piecing...I might try one.
ReplyDeletegreat looking wonky stars! and I love the dazed out expression on Mr. Pussycat's face - I see they are a hit
ReplyDeleteHehe.... searching the internet is very dangerous for startitis! Looks like you have a great start for some new projects.
ReplyDeleteGreat wonky stars and the teapot is adorable! Great work this week!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that you got carried away and began more projects for RSC!!! I'm so pleased you did when I see your lovely little liberated stars and your teapot. Your small stars are calling to me - just sorting through tiny scraps and could see that this would be a lovely way to use them up, but do I have enough project bins empty????
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks!
ReplyDeleteGot to jump on that inspiration when it happens.:) lol
ReplyDeleteToo much fun going on over there! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with liberated stars - in any size!
ReplyDeleteLove the little catnip mice. :- )
Your enthusiasm makes me so happy! Love the liberated star blocks and the teapot. Not sure about that interloper cat though.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post... those star blocks are just yummy looking and I love that teapot too. Lots of inspiration here!
