Here's my finished 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt!!! I was inspired to make a 9-patch & snowball quilt by Saiji's quilt, here, who was inspired by Blue Elephant's quilt, here!

My Quilt Info:

Breezy Table Runner + Heart Update

I bought a kit at Pine Needles Quilt and Sew in Rochester, MN, just a short drive from Mayo Clinic, and sewed this table runner!

Here's what came in the kit: a charm pack, accent, border and binding fabrics, and the pattern, all tucked inside a fun zipper pouch! ⤵️

Margot🇫🇷 + Mayo Clinic

Gudrun recently did a one day virtual Stripology Retreat, with 2 sessions to choose from. I did the first session, on Saturday, October 18th!

The virtual retreat was held on zoom. Quilters from 48 US states and 8 countries around the world participated. There were 250+ quilters signed in at each of the two sessions, making a total of more than 500 quilters for both sessions combined, plus some quilters participated as a group from quilt shops.

Winny

My finished Winny quilt, quilt number 11 in the year long Stripology Quickies Club!!!

This is my 2nd Winny. I made my first during the Stripology Virtual Retreat in March, 2024, when Winny was exclusively designed for that retreat. Later that year, Gudrun included the pattern in her book, Stripology Quickies. She asked me if she could include a photo of my Winny from the retreat! Here it is pictured inside the book--mine is the large quilt in the photo! ⤵️ I used fabrics from the retreat but changed the background fabric.

RSC October

I pieced my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt top together this month. Evidently I didn't plan the quilt math out because it came out quite large--66" x 90"! My throw size quilt goal is around 60" x 80". 

I'm thinking of removing two horizontal rows. The blocks I take out can go toward making a baby quilt. I'd like to remove one vertical row but that is a lot more work and would make the quilt rows asymmetrical. 

Speaking of baby quilts, I finished 3 this month! Some of these go to family and friends, most go to Bundles of Love, a local charity delivering bundles of newborn baby items to families in need here in Minnesota.

RSC September

I've been working on piecing my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt top together, as well as a few scrappy baby quilts this month!

First off, my RSC quilt. Last month I worked on the white with black background squares. This month I filled in the 9-patches I've been making all year long. Once they were on the design wall I was not happy with the darker blocks. Here are the original blocks on the design wall:

RSC August

I made my aqua blocks back in April! So I spent this month working on my white/cream snowball blocks for my 2025 RSC quilt. Plus, I made 4 scrap quilts for Bundles of Love. I tried to lean into "aqua" baby quilts, but sometimes color sneaks in!

I debated if I should make all the snowball corners one solid black fabric. Then it occurred to me, this is the Rainbow SCRAP Challenge--make them scrappy! ⤵️
