hubby worked late every night this week, so I feel like I got a lot done in the sewing room. 3 more brown granny squares started off the week.
I took the time to sort out all my white(ish) low volume squares, and made them into little piles of 7, for my low volume plus quilt. that way it's more certain that the fabrics will be mixed more evenly throughout the quilt. (I'm pretty picky about stuff like that- don't know why, as I'm probably the only person that would ever notice...)
here's the blue and brown row of my plus quilt. notice there are only 7 pluses in the browns, not 9 like the blues? well, there were only enough browns to do 7 blocks! can you believe it?! I couldn't scrounge up 10 more blocks to make 2 more pluses. I already knew my stash of brown was very, very low- but still... I'm sure before December i'll be able to find 10 more brown blocks...
you can also see my RSC15 sampler on the floor. I've gotten that back out, and plan to finish it into a flimsy this month. I was having trouble with the alternate blocks, until I figured out the pattern, and now it's going a bit more smoothly. I'm happy to see how nice it's looking as it comes together!
this is not a RSC project, just a leftover bits and squares from another quilt I made. I thought it was especially appropriate to finish it during the changeover of blue to brown.
linking up with Angela- go see what everyone else is creating!

So close and yet so far away.
LOVE the granny square blocks. Brings back lots of memories when I used to crochet those!! you have a great assortment of low volume prints. I love to see what other quilters use as low volume!!
Lovely granny squares and other projects going on here :)
Beauties! I do the same thing when I'm mixing fabrics. It just makes me feel better about things. Can't wait to see the RSC15 sampler!
I should try to be that organized. (Oh, who am I kidding? It'll never happen...)
I really love your projects, and am looking forward to watching them grow! Those + blocks look like such fun to play with.
I like the granny square blocks. You have a nice variety of low volume fabrics.
Gorgeous Grannies!
It looks like you had a productive week. You are right!! This is the PERFECT time to finish that BLUE/BROWN leftover quilt.
Beautiful granny squares. Sometimes we need to stop, plan and organize the scraps. Your RSC15 is looking good. The plus quilt seems to be a great idea to use up all that small scraps.
I am sure that more brown will turn up before the year is done. Looking forward to seeing the finished 2015 quilt.
Great granny square blocks. So close to finishing the RSC 2015! Keep going! The end is in sight.
Love those Granny Square Blocks! Hopefully you'll find some browns by the end of the year. Good luck finishing up the 2015 sampler.
I like the cross rows in the colors.
I have a top that's been on my "design wall" for months. I need to motivate to finish it so that I can start placing my color 4 patches up.
