Aqua, Black and White

I recently pulled out my black and white fabrics for a small project and realized my black and white stash is overflowing. I had been buying for a "future project" which had yet to materialize. Last month, I used some b&w to surround my rainbow and mixed color 9-patches. I decided to use this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color to add some pop to a rail fence variation. I was inspired by Alycia's quilt here. Right now I have enough cut for 56 blocks, but I might keep going. I like the look!

Other recent finishes include this top using (some of the) crumb blocks I made each month of 2016. I like looking at the blocks and remembering where the fabrics came from.

I quilted swirls in the crumb blocks, and different border designs in the white sashings.

I also finished this rails and pinwheels block (pattern from Maryquilts) which used some Riley Blake Sugar and Spice fabrics left over from another quilt I made years ago. I cleaned out several different pink fabrics in the pinwheels. Quilted with an allover meander of loops, butterflies and dragonflies. Glad to move these fabrics into a cute donation quilt!
