First up is an Orts block. (Go here for a link to the pattern and a peek at how I'm constructing these blocks.)
I keep having the best of intentions of making more than one of these blocks each month, but here it is March and I'm still at only one-per. Though there's a fair bit of March left, so maybe it could happen.
Next up were my beloved Centennial stars.
I enjoy planning and making these blocks enough that I'm starting to stack up some 2 5/8" squares for the centers for future blocks. (It's an awkward size, but apparently there's some
Speaking of multitasking - I'm slowly but surely piling up bits for Totally Demented. My supply of 2.5" squares is being raided for sewing triangles, plus I'm cutting more 2" HSTs to add to the ones I'd already been stockpiling for my flying geese blocks.
Those poor flying geese - I've been dreaming of a flying geese strippy quilt for the longest time, but I keep cannibalizing the parts for other projects. Most of my finished geese blocks ended up in my Gwennie medallion quilts, so I made some more. But most of those got sucked into Long Time Gone (aka Are We There Yet), so I had to start over again. Now my triangles are getting drafted into yet another side project.
Someday my geese will come, but it doesn't look like it's going to be anytime soon...
Linking with SoScrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday. Come see all the limy goodness!

Nice start to GREEN month for the RSC!! We linked to Angela's blog at the same time today. I beat you by a nanosecond! Linked, hopped over, and there you were in the last linked spot. Funny! I expected to see my own post there. Off to check out that cool block you made...
I am loving that lime! Admittedly, I'm a green girl - but that lime has some serious pop! LOVE IT!
Love that first lime block. I'm sure you will have enough geese someday. A least they are all flying into good homes.
Every time I see your Centennial blocks I think I should make some. Maybe next month ...
Those are the greens I like (besides the ones in my wallet). I love lime green. The block in the first picture is so awesome! ♥ Don't get me wrong, I love the Centennial Stars too. I just love your green post. Gosh! I wish my backyard look like your post. (Sigh) We had snow again, so I am finally sewing!! ;^D
Good stuff! Glad you got some sewing time in. And it's fun to see how you and Sally are approaching Totally Demented. I'm sewing along but just going to make all the HSTs first.
You have a bit of cutting and storing going on.. good to keep busy
I love that green Ort block - so pretty! It will be fun to see your progress with Totally Demented, too!
What is/are Orts? Very interesting blocks. That bubbly lemon lime is wonderful, really fizzy.
Yummy lime fabrics and two great patterns.
I think I have green spotted envy. And hopefully with spring you will have more time with the sewing machine, unless you get pulled more and more outdoors.
Beautiful lime green,and great blocks! Flying geese will have to wait a little more ;-)
I love how all those lime-y greens are playing together in your blocks!
Those are such happy greens—very spring-y! I have to start cutting multiple projects at one time—great tip!
