I'm bound and determined to get some of these lurking, nearly finished quilts DONE! (dee-oh-en-ee)
*edited to add:* I linked up so late last week, that I'm linking this post again. also: can you even believe that it's the LAST yellow Saturday?!
the row of green can also fall under the category of "measure twice, cut once". I made my flying geese per the Eleanor Burns directions, (and ruler). I knew they would finish slightly bigger than the size Angela planned for, but since the math all worked out, I just decided to save myself some of the bother.
unfortunately, I mixed up the size squares that were to be cut for the geese and the background. I considered (for about 3 nano-seconds) re-doing the geese, but in the end figured that it would just make my quilt that much more unique in a (possible) wide sea of RSC16 Column Quilts.
not surprisingly, I fell behind on my RSC Column-Along. but for RSC17 I've been catching up on this (really, really cool) quilt one row, and one color at a time, as Angela calls the new color.
if you're interested, here's the colors I used for the green and yellow. sour apple, mint, holly, grasshopper, green grass, avocado, pickle, chartreuse and basil. yellows are daffodil, buttercup, curry, butter, canary, corn yellow, maize, and yarrow.
so now I've got 9 rows DONE! now it's only the pink row to go- and easy one of hatchets, and I have lots of pinks in my kona stash from my granddaughter E's quilt. can someone please direct me to the final directions/order of assembling the rows? I can't seem to find it on Angela's blog...
I'm making 2 of these quilts- the large and small ( I know, I know- I can't help it- really!) one to keep and one to give. getting excited to see the end of this quilt nearly in sight- Angela did a great job designing it.

So nice to see I'm not alone in my 2016 project. Life just got ahead of me and I couldn't catch up last year. Who knows it may just become a finish this year.
Looking good! Go to the RSC16 tab at the top of Angela's blog page. There may be one labeled RSC16 Sampler, but I can't recall. You will find instructions there. Good luck!!

The rows are looking great! I don't think there was a tutorial on putting it together. I just arranged mine to how I liked it and sewed the rows together. I know some people added sashing between the rows.... it really is up to you as to how you want it to look. Good luck.
I like those blocks in all solids! Good for you for sticking with the sampler! I've seen a few finished ones that each had a different layout, so I think you get to be creative with that, and we will all love seeing it.
Great blocks, very bold in the Kona.
A number of folks finished that quilt and each was slightly different. So don't worry about it, just make it your way. I love the Kona solids look, which will be unique. Your contrast and shade choices are excellent in each row. And congrats on your giant finish!
