RSC for March - Bright Greens

This is the box of green scraps and partial fat quarters

that I pulled for this month's RSC comfort quilt making.

I edited the mish-mash a bit 

and came up with this plan

for a Jack's Basket donation quilt.

I'll use the noisy checkerboard for backing,

multiple greens for the background, and

the daisy print to frame the pink swirly star.

I'll use this group of strips, strings, and bits

to piece a doll quilt for A Doll Like Me.

I'll include the colorful Jane Sassaman scraps in the top

and partial fat quarter with the green print on the bottom 

for the quilt's backing.

Hopefully there is enough of the pink polka dot binding

leftover from a previous project to bind this doll quilt.

I also found another small stash of light-medium blue scraps

(January's RSC color prompt)

that I'll piece together for another Doll Like Me donation quilt.

But in perhaps the biggest decision of all

was to re-purpose this stack of KF charm squares

that had been planned long-stalled for 

a snowball-designed lap quilt top.

Instead, I will pair the colorful charms 

with the pink/purple print squares

and make lots of half square triangles.

(they'll each finish at 4")

There will be roughly 160 HSTs to play with

once they're stitched, separated,

pressed, and the corners are trimmed;

which means I can make 2-4 small comfort quilts.

These will be counted for February's purple prompt

as well as the not-yet-called-out RSC pink prompt

that will happen later this year.

I found this image online 

(no credit attached to it)

and I quite like the random layout.

I need 63 blocks for a Jack's Basket quilt top

(7 wide x 9 long)

and 30 blocks for a Doll Like Me quilt top.

(5 wide x 6 long)

so . . . 

there are lots of comfort quilt possibilities 

lurking in those colorful HSTs-in-the-making.
