RRCB QUILT 2 FLIMSY

Purple Haze (RRCB) is now a flimsy! The backing is ready, it's packed up and ready to for the long arm quilter. This is a very big quilt and it's VERY PURPLE!!!! Another wonderful Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt. This was a fun quilt to put together.

RRCB QUILT 2 BORDERS

It took a while, but these will be the colors of the inner border and the outer border. You will recognize the outer border as one of the first steps with 'wings' added as one of the last steps. Wonderful border. Looking forward to working on RRCB Quilt 1 again.

RRCB Quilt 2 New Slow Down Techniques

I'm not leaving without my scissors. 

What scissors? I don't see any scissors. 

What do you mean  "Get off the blocks? It's warm here"

RRCB Quilt 2 Step 8 Slow Down

I'm having trouble putting the blocks together. My 'help' is being too helpful.

Something New

I don't know how many of you have tried Mary Ellen's Best Press Spray, but a friend and I were talking about it the other day and how much she liked it. I happen to mention that everyone I knew thought it was the best thing since sliced bread but had never tried it because of the expense.

Well, look what arrived from my friendly UPS guy today!!! WhoooHoooo!!! Can't wait to try it. :-))) Thank you, Rita!

RRCB Quilt 2 Step 8

I put together a few blocks just to see what finished quilt might look like. Still deciding on the inner border color.

RRCB Quilt 2 Step 8

Here it is! So purple and so bright. Not sewn together yet, but this is what the center will be. Borders are next.

RRCB Quilt 2 Step 7

I skipped step 6 but you can see the blocks in step 7. Oh MY!!!!!! This is SO PURPLE!!!!!! Jimmy and Lois are testing it out.

RRCB Quilt 2 Step 4 and 5

Step 4 and step 5. Step 5 is 600  2" HST and 30 2" squares of the constant color. In this quilt, the constant is a green. My neutrals are the purple. Who would think purple would be neutral?  On to clue 6.

RRCB Step 3 Quilt 2 Purple Strings

Purple string blocks for Quilt 2. 7 down, 53 to go! I still need more variety in my purples, but I think it's going to work.   Jimmy giving the final inspection.

RRCB Step 3 Quilt 2

These are the neutrals for the RRCB Quilt 2. I'm still going to make the purple ones, but need a greater variety of purples to finish them. On to step 4!

RRCB Step 3 Quilt 2

Who knew purple could be a neutral! Only 58 more to go.

Step 2 Quilt 1 RRCB Batiks

Finished the step 2 with Batiks and my helper tonight.

Step 2 Quilt 2 RRCB Regular Cottons

These are my Step 2 for the regular cottons. I finished them last night and realized as I was pinning the last group together, I used the wrong color. The brown was supposed to be purple. I've decided to go with it and use my purples for my neutrals. At the last minute, I decided to use browns as my neutrals instead of creams.  It will be interesting to see how it turns out. At the very worst, the dogs will love it, if it turns out great, the dogs will still love it. 

Roll Roll Cotton Boll Fabrics regular cottons

I found so many colors I liked in my stash I decided to make 2 quilts. one out of Batiks, the other, regular cottons.  As you can see, I had lots of help picking the colors and sewing.
