Introducing Miscellany - a New Project

Photo by Rachel Hauser of Stitched in Color

I'm not sure how I happened across this blog post

but I am entirely taken with this quilt.

(photo borrowed from Rachel's website, 

shared here as the inspiration for my version)

I chose the white with turquoise for my consistent background.

(I thought about going scrappy but that would take away

from the other bits of color in the top)

The mottled batik to the right is a solid candidate for binding

and the fabrics to the left will become a scrappy back.

I ordered the background as I didn't have more than a yard

of anything that was suitable and this will need more,

likely much more, than a single yard.

The rest came from the stash.

So here's my plan . . . 

I'll play along with the RSC colors for the rest of 2020

(starting with darker green scraps shown above)

since the placemat project is finished 

and the Mischief Maker blocks

generate all sorts of interesting bits and pieces.

I'll continue on into RSC 2021 until

I have enough blocks to piece my top. 

This is going to be FUN!

(that small box is for potential scraps

to be used with future months' color groups)

Rachel named her quilt Confetti.

I've named my Miscellany.

(a miscellaneous collection or group 

of various or somewhat unrelated items; the

anglicized version of miscellanea; ca. 1565–75; 

< Latin miscellānea hash, hodgepodge; 

noun; use as neuter plural of miscellāneus)
