February round up 3

OK, last round up post.  This one covers a number of challenges, most of which I've already bored you with so won't repeat!

I was a late-comer to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, missing January's blue, though I did actually catch up with that one.  This month was pink.  I made the following blocks as leaders and enders as I was piecing Jacob's quilt so I'm really chuffed!  All the patterns are tutorials by So Scrappy who is hosting the challenge.

I'm planning on using this challenge each month to make more scrap buckets.  January's was blue, and I made a QAYG panel.  The pink bucket will be the same dimensions, incorporating these 5 blocks (the last one isn't finished yet).  For future months I may make giant blocks, more small ones or make an improv panel, I'll see how I feel each month.

I'm hoping Orange isn't until December as I have very few orange scraps.  The block above started off as a bowtie block, but following some wrong sewing and trimming, I realised I'd messed up and didn't have the scraps to redo it, so I improvised this block.

One thing I noticed as I was putting these blocks together is how much my accuracy is improving.  OK, some of you will look at my points (and the dodgy fabric combo above!) and wince, but I have come a long way.  Practice seems to work so I should keep improving.

I'm now just waiting for March's colour to be announced so I can get going... oh, I should probably turn this one into a scrap bucket first!
I succeeded in joining in with the Craft Book Sew Along.  I submitted my  "Wild" Tiles necklace...



And my Peyote stitch sampler bracelet.



Each person is only allowed two entries or I would have also submitted my project from Mini Eco.



The Smalls Sew Along was conquered early on in the month in a rare fit of being organised.



I made this cross stitch on wood hanging thing from a cover kit.

I did try something New to Me in 2014, but I haven't posted about it yet, so I'm going to save it for March.  I can't really count it here, so that was a failure.

Another failure was the Sew Kitschy BOM, not the pattern, but me making it, as in, I didn't.  Ah well, next month!
