saturday august 17 2019 scrappy saturday i got completely distracted this week with the multi year omigosh project it started with just sewing a few 1 pieces into this double 9 patch block which was one of the rsc tiny tuesday blocks this week cute so i kept making more blocks with the scraps on the cutting table and ended up finishing these 4 blocks to add to the project then i went in search of the other blocks they are stored in the refrigerator the fabric one not the food one i decided it was time to take stock of this project and see where it s at omigosh project in the freezer the double 9 patch blocks are on the left i have enough of those and really should stop making any more the small pile of alternate blocks on the right is another story the piles should be the same size they are not as much fun to make as the double 9 patch and require more coordination but i need to focus my efforts and make lots more of those i got out all the alternate blocks and put them on the design wall for the first time with the double 9 patches of the same colours here is what it is looking like omigosh wow that is awesome there are some colours that are over represented and some that are mia so that will have to be sorted out by the project manager lol i counted all the colours and will try to be more purposeful about filling in the gaps now no more willy nilly making random blocks when i feel like it for this project focus is required so see more rsc projects hop over to the weekly linkup posted by quilter kathy 22 comments labels omigosh rainbow scrap challenge 2019 saturday july 07 2018 scrappy saturday in a demonstration of great self restraint i am not joining in on the moda summer camp quilt along it sounds like so much fun but really how much fun can one quilter stand also bonnie hunter announced her new leader and ender challenge jewel box stars which looks like lots of fun too must stay focused okay staying focused means working on quilts already in progress so instead of starting anything new i better buckle down and get to work on my multi year omigosh project last month was teal month at the rainbow scrap challenge so i ve been working on some tiny teal blocks these are the alternate blocks in omigosh which are a shoofly variation there are 41 pieces in each of these labour intensive little 5 blocks because they are so small there is no wiggle room and all components must be squared down to the exact size here is the collection of the alternate blocks made so far i have finished 27 as of today only about 80 more to sew lol see how wonderful they are when put beside the double nine patch blocks yum to see more rainbow scrap challenge projects hop over to the weekly link up i ll be looking for some red scraps to stitch up today posted by

about 4 and a half years when the colour of the month is announced at the rainbow scrap challenge i start gathering up my 1 strips and scraps to make some omigosh blocks each month for three years i sewed the double 9 patch blocks and have made 93 of those so far i started sewing the alternate shoofly variation in march last year and have only made 14 of those so far here are a couple of other blocks made in the last 2 weeks it s such a wonderful way to make a quilt n o pressure no deadlines just a leisurely sewing of blocks and putting them into the project box in the closet as they are

rainbow scrap challenge 2018 saturday march 10 2018 scrappy saturday omigosh the first order of the day is to announce the winners of the draw for the mini double 9 patch mug mats from the small smaller smallest blog hop this past week there were over 80 names in the draw and the two lucky winners are vicki h said oh i love your quilt i have saved many scraps that small but haven t sewn them yet i think my sewing machine might eat them instead of feeding them through now i am inclined to give it a try thanks for sharing and inspiring tink s mom said please don t take this the wrong way but you are insane that said your quilt is amazing i d love a chance at one of those sweet mini rugs congratulations and thanks to all the bloggers who participated to carol for organizing the fun and to everyone who visited and left encouraging and often hilarious comments this week i made a few more light green blocks for my rsc omigosh this has been a multiyear project and uses all the tiniest scraps from my sewing adventures i still have a few unfinished purple blocks from last month so that s what i am sewing today so many people have commented that 1 pieces are toooo small for stress free sewing and if you prefer to sew with larger pieces you could still make the omigosh pattern using larger blocks my friend helen made her omigosh quilt using 1 5 pieces and look at her amazing quilt she calls it something like oh well whatever lol to see what other quilters are sewing with their green scraps hop over to the rsc link up posted by quilter kathy 22 comments labels omigosh

completely distracted in the sewing room squirrel distraction happened because i was sewing the on ringo lake blocks together and it is hard sewing these blocks together without sashing then i noticed the lovely gold scraps in the scrap bin and thought of my omigosh project and wanting something easier to sew i started making some blocks tada easy peasy 5 omigosh blocks two double nine patch and two shoofly variation blocks to add to the pile they are so adorable and made mostly from 1 strips now what was i supposed to be doing posted by quilter kathy 7 comments labels omigosh saturday

rainbow scrap challenge the omigosh project saw some scrappy attention this week i finished 3 alternate shoofly blocks and 1 more double 9 patch block these blocks use up my smallest 1 scraps these

needed but 3 is a good start this is a multi year maybe multi decade project and i just sew a few blocks here and there when i have collected enough tiny scraps to see more blue scrap projects hop

last night i only managed to sew one little 5 alternate block for omigosh this brings my grand total of alternate blocks to 3 that s okay because a this is a lifelong project and b we had a blast at

week is over and i am relaxing today by sewing some tiny random 1 bits of purple fabric into 9 patch blocks purple is the january colour for the rainbow scrap challenge and i have just finished my 9th purple block i was so sad reading the news that sue garman died which was announced this week by the quilt show i have followed sue s blog for years and have been inspired by her quilting and life adventures she was an amazing woman with a fascinating career at nasa followed by a brilliant career as a creative quilter teacher pattern designer and blogger the news of her passing inspired me to get out my own sue garman project called omigosh you can see her original version of the pattern on her blog post from 2008 here i ve been working on my version for more than 3 years now and i have 84 of the double nine patch blocks done 110 are needed but haven t even started sewing the second block yet it s a perfect rsc challenge project and i enjoy picking it up now and then to make more blocks

challenge 2017 saturday september 24 2016 scrappy saturday the colour for the rainbow scrappers this month is red and i have plenty of red action going on in my sewing room this week with my smallest of scraps which are 1 squares or strips i made a few more red blocks for the never ending omigosh project the neutral squares are 2 i have been making these blocks for 3 years now and am hoping to

january 23 2016 scrappy saturday blue month continues for the rainbow scrap challengers i have been sewing a few blocks using bonnie s leader ender technique as i have been working on other projects throughout the month here are two more double 9 patch blocks for omigosh and 6 more alamo stars these are l o n g term projects i just know someone is going to ask me how many of these blocks i have now i have 70 omigosh blocks and this many alamo stars how many is that i didn t count but it s a lot i have been debating how to work on a layout for this quilt no way am i going to lay out hundreds of 2 star blocks on a design wall to somehow organize into a coherent design today i am thinking it might be good to sew these blocks together into 9 patchs so the design unit will be bigger to work with do you have any other ideas for me of how to create a quilt design from hundreds of small blocks to see more blue scrappy projects hop over to soscrappy posted by quilter kathy 29 comments labels
