I've been working hard to finish up a green UFO for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It didn't quite get completed in January, but here it is done now. In fact, the binding was stitched down today. This cot quilt was made with green and lemon 5in squares I received from my elderly neighbour Dorothy's stash which was donated to me when she went into a rest home. The green border fabric came from Dorothy as well. This truly is the "gift which keeps on giving" as I still have many more charm squares left, including those I've used in last year's Happy Blocks, and I'm dipping into them again this year too.

Next were the four patch blocks, teddy bears, stars, shoes and flower buds soon had their borders applied.

And finally, a few Hollow Nines to add to the collection. I'm only using 2.5in squares already cut for these, just want to use them up without cutting any more and clear the bag.

So that's what I've been doing the last week or so. I really enjoy checking out all the other RSC stitchers projects too.

I really like your green quilt, but what I see already from the red one . . . I'm going to love it! Red is so much fun 😊
Happy quilting,
Connie
You did well with the dot to dot quilting. I was just thinking how good it stands out.
Lovely green baby quilt! I like the way you quilted it too. I have not taken my red scraps out yet. I spy quilts are fun to make and interesting to look at when they are done.
Such a lovely green baby quilt and the dot to dot quilting really makes the blocks pop.
Good progress on the red blocks. Are you going to make a quilt similar to the green one?
I haven't seen dot to dot quilting but I imagine it makes for a neater quilting design
I love that green and lemon quilt - such pretty and soothing colors! Congratulations on your finish. Looks like you had fun sewing with red this week, too!
Your RSC WIPS are coming along so nicely, Jenny!!
The green dot-to-dot quilting is just lovely--nice work...
Although my hands are still not cooperating for sewing, I was able to walk the entire circumference of the playing field of .8 of a mile this morning--1st time since my H-disk happened to me--great feeling to be out in that fresh air--46 degrees here so on the warmer side...

Lovely cot quilt. Such soft baby colors! Lots of red for February! Aren’t the Happy Blocksfun?
What a pretty little quilt. How nice that Your neighbour’s gift is still being used. Pretty red blocks too.
What a treasure to have Dorothy's stash to use as you wend your way through 2024. The fussy cut swashbuckling pirates cracked me up. Someone is going to have fun playing I Spy when those blocks get made into a quilt.
Lovely green quilt Jenny. You're making great progress on the reds.
Your dot to dot quilting looks great, and I love all your red blocks. Congratulations on the cute finish!
What a lovely finished quilt.
Love the new blocks you have sewn.
God bless.
The dot-to-dot quilting is very nice!
Lovely baby quilt in beautiful colors. Congrats on the finish! Love your dot-to-dot quilting, makes me want to try it. Pretty red blocks. Happy Sunday!
Oooh , Hollow Nines- I really love these. Lots of pretties being worked on. Fabulous job, dear Jenny.
Beautiful work and such a wonderful way to use all the gifted fabrics. Dorothy will be so happy for how you are spreading the cheer with all these treasures. Have a great weekend.
Great work on the cot quilt and meeting the green challenge.
And the red blocks look great.
