Orange RSC blocks

I am finally getting around to sharing my June orange blocks for the RSC! They actually have been done but I never shared. 

Here are the 5 traditional pieced blocks.
Here are all 6 month's colors together. I'm not sure of the final layout yet - whether in rows or intermingled.
Here are my 5 improv pieced blocks.

Here are 6 months of RSC improv blocks!
I'm linking up to ScrapHappySaturday over @SoScrappy!

Another quilt project that I made from a class through the @craftymonkies platform was a caricature of my pet, Nellie. The class was taught by SarahSpencer, @iothealien Sarah's methods were new to me and I really enjoyed the class.
After creating a likeness of Nellie (not her true colors) from a photo using raw edged applique, I outlined it using a technique new to me, quilted, and stretched it over a 12" x 12" canvas frame.
She has been a sweet girl to us and is now in her senior years of slowing down.  I really wanted to see if I could make a quilt from a photo of her. I may try one in her true colors!

  2. Your RSC blocks will offer an interesting look (with many options) by the end of the year. Both are nice, but I especially like the improv, a little wonky blocks best. :) Thanks for joining Sew & Tell.

  3. A lot of wonderful blocks you have there, Dawn. Your rendering of Nellie is really good. I’d love to see you do one in her natural colors, too!
