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! ⤵️

I even got the background squares on the design wall! ⤵️ Now to fill in with the 9-patches I've been making all year. The finished size will be 66" x 90". My favorite throw size is 60" x 80", but sometimes one has to make adjustments according to the block size and design!

Here are the baby quilts I've made in between quilting quilts this month. I'm using the Honey Bouquet pattern from Villa Rosa Designs. I downsized it to fit the guidelines for Bundles of Love, a local group that delivers a bundle of newborn baby items to families in need.
