Sew Scrappy Saturday: RSC Blocks and Crafted Applique Winner!

Stolen moments: Five minutes here, ten there, I am finding time to piece with green. I selected the most forest-like strips from my scrap bin and created two more Kite Tail blocks:

Ten blocks are finished now!

I'm also keeping up with the leftovers, they're pieced together in 12.5" lengths.
I intended that these might border the Kite Tails in some way, but now I am leaning toward a quilt all their own.

Next, I pulled from my vintage stash to use this little squirrel as the focus for this month's Courthouse Baby block:

Have you been inspired by the Crafted Applique Bloghop?

  5. Love the Kite Tails too. The leftovers would certain make an interesting quilt on their own, but I think bordering the main quilt with them would be fantastic too.

  8. The Kite Tails blocks look so neat swirled together like that! I love what you are doing with the leftover scraps too Heidi. Leave it to you to find another sweet vintage fabric for your courthouse steps!
    Thanks for hosting such a great stop in the Crafted Applique' Blog Hop! It was so much fun to see your post! I was really tickled that your winner Louise had already ordered the book, so of course sent her a refund. Can you imagine living aboard and boat and making wonderful quilts? What an adventurer!

  10. Love all your greenery! The kite tail blocks look so cool spread out that way. The little squirrel is so cute in the middle of your block. I love Louise's boat photo. That's something I haven't tried yet. =)

  11. Thank you so much for hosting the book giveaway! I was so tickled to win it. And just as she promised, since I had already purchased the book, Lara refunded my money. I'm really looking forward to trying her non-fraying applique method.

  13. Your Kite Tail blocks look incredible, Heidi! Love the photo of it. The leftovers would make a great quilt on their own, I think. The squirrel is adorable in your courthouse block.
