The RSC colour for April was "multicolour." That could mean many colours in one fabric, but I chose to interpret it as many fabrics in different colours. As I cut the fabric for each month, I put aside extra for these blocks.
I first planned to make three multicolour blocks, but then I started to have doubts about just how wild they would look! I made extra green blocks instead. But, now they are done I do rather like them.
Most of my pieced sashing is made (I took a break from quilting Picnic). I still hope to make my Thanksgiving Day goal for the finished top, but I'm thinking it's at best 50/50 right now.
Bonnie Hunter has announced her next mystery, On Ringo Lake. I've been waffling about that quite a bit too. I planned all along to make it, but then I started thinking maybe I should finish more stuff first. But, then I started to think about a new colour scheme...and now I may do it after all. This one will be smaller than previous mysteries, and that leads me to believe that it will be more densely pieced. I'm sure it's going to be beautiful. And actually, I think I've been able to deduce quite a lot just from the outside measurements! I'm sensing a lot of aqua HSTs in my future...
In the meantime, please check out the other RSC participants, right here. I think several are close to finished tops by now!
Love those wild turkeys! I could see a whole quilt like that!
ReplyDeleteIt is that time of year. We all have so much to finish up. Picnic and Wild Turkey will be wonderful to see completed.
ReplyDeleteCute! Love that you called them Wild Turkeys!
ReplyDeleteYour Wild Turkey is beautiful! Yes you should do the BH mystery, it will be fun. I love that there is turquoise and brown.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh I love this one!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how stunning the color combinations are in these blocks! I can't wait to see all your blocks together.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Juliana! I hope I can stay focused on this now. :D
DeleteGreat blocks. Love the design and also the multi coloured version.
ReplyDeleteI really like the wild ones -= wow
ReplyDeleteHooray for wild Turkeys! Now you are talking turkey!
ReplyDeleteSuch a bright turkey. You'll never catch that kind. It will run too fast.
ReplyDeleteAnother FABULOUS turkey block! Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteLove these multi Turkey Tracks, a whole quilt with scrappy blocks would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteThose Wild Turkey blocks are cool! I've liked each and every color way. . . .but, now that I've seen the wild. . .I think these are my favorites! I probably will just drool over Ringo Lake; but, may print the clues. . . .just in case I join in very late!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terry! Yes, I have a feeling Ringo Lake is going to be another good one. I tell myself, somehow, the ones that need to be finished will be finished!
DeleteWild Turkey is the perfect name for your blocks! They will be a great addition to the single-color blocks.
ReplyDeleteOooh fun! I like the rainbow scrappiness of these blocks. They don't look busy at all. I justify doing Bonnie's quilts by using up older stash for the project. I should be finishing more, but Bonnie's mystery are so fun, it's hard to punish myself for not finishing projects by sitting this one out.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those colorful wild turkeys!
ReplyDeleteI like these too and think they'll add an extra little spark in the mix with all the others. Good luck on getting to the finish line!
ReplyDeleteI love your turkey blocks. The colors and fabrics are so rich and inviting. I'm looking forward to seeing them together in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exuberant looking block! Always interesting to see the same block in different color ways.:)
ReplyDeleteWild Turkey is a perfect name. So many crazy fabrics yet you have an eye for making them go well together.
