I finished my 2nd RSC quilt from 2021 ~ Wonky Shoo Fly! It turned out even better than I expected! A few nights ago, I finally sat down to bind the quilt and finish up with hand stitching.
The last stitch went in last night, then it made its way to the washer and dryer. Here it is in all its crinkly goodness!
Today I took some time out in the snow for a photo shoot of Wonky Shoo Fly!
Wonky Shoo Fly was made following along with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge throughout 2021! I added one additional color, peach, so that I had 11 colors.
Angela, from So Scrappy and the host of RSC, posted a tutorial on the wonky shoo fly block. I choose to do it as one of my blocks for 2021.
The block size is 6" and I made 10 blocks each month.
To make the finished quilt a bit larger, I made 6" strips
of wonky piano keys to match the adjacent color block.
I also added another border of the scrappy cream color I
used in the top. I am very pleased on how it turned out.
All the scraps in the top are from my scrap bins. The backing is a new purchase.
The binding is also from my stash - navy and cream check.
(You can see it better in the first picture)
This quilt finished size is approx. 67" x 72"
As I was making this block (it is 15"), I realized that I would get 8 bonus HST that I could use for another block. With a few additional squares, I made these 2 blocks. Easy Peasy!
Each block is 4" x 8"
I also made this block that I found on flickr years ago. 
I have lots of gray scraps, so I'm doing the background in gray! This block is 11".

As the new year begins, the old year ends! Not sorry to say goodbye to 2021 but I did complete a year of monthly calendar journals! Here is my December calendar!
