The colour that was designated for June was not any one colour in particular, but “pastel”. This posed a bit of a problem for me, as I have precut all my colours and there are no pastels. I decided that the closest I have is Aqua. That has now presented itself to be another problem, as the July colour has now been selected to be Aqua. Oh well, I’ll just have to do another substitution next month as well.
As we would be travelling for much of the month, I had packed my precut blocks to take away with me and hopefully find time to set up my little machine and make them on the road and then just make the crumb blocks once we returned home.
The opportunity didn’t arrive until towards the end of our trip, when we camped at Cranky Rocks Nature Reserve, near Warialda in northern NSW, and decided to have an extra day there to be lazy.
I set myself up outside, with the company of the chooks that roamed around the campground. A rather lovely setting. My own version of the Chookshed. If you know, you know. LOL
Anyway, the solid crosses blocks and the black and white potato chip blocks were pieced while there.
Yesterday, I finally pieced the two crumb blocks that were needed. I already had one I had made previously.
I have only four more colours to make before putting the quilt tops together and am very happy with how they are turning out.
I’m linking up with So Scrappy.
