I was busy with client quilts most of the week, but I did squeeze in a little time with my green scraps.
I added some greens to my RickRack blocks (MSQ pattern). The pattern is designed for jelly rolls, but after I cut my background strips from yardage, it is easy to find enough in my scrap bin to make the blocks.
I found enough 2.5" pieces in my green scraps to make six scrappy trip-around-the-world blocks (Bonnie Hunter pattern). I already have 18 of these blocks made and since they are 12" finished, I may end up with several charity quilts when all the rainbow colors have been added.
I put together my yellow strings started in February, the yellow month. The string sections are trimmed to 6.5" x 9.5", then I added dark blue borders on two sides to make 9.5" blocks. The border fabric was a perfect find in a box of donated fabric. I was planning on a plain navy, but the navy with yellow suns might be my favorite part! Into the quilting queue it goes...
Linking up with RSC where there is always lots of wonderful inspiration.

Those ric rac blocks are so pretty! Lots of happy yellow strings too. They look great with the navy border
I love these string blocks. They look so cute in the two-color theme of yellow & navy. And yes, that border with the suns is awesome!
Your ric rac blocks are fun! And the yellow string blocks look great with the navy accents.
Beautiful GREEN blocks and a lovely quilt top, too!
