RSC25 - January: pink

This week I donated all my on-hand comfort quilts to a local fire relief effort, so today I'm newly motivated to replenish my comfort quilt supply.  Accordingly, here's my first PINK blockwork of the year for RSC 25:

Uneven 9-patch blocks using a set of Alison Glass batik fat quarters

And randomly scrappy classic log cabins.

I'd say that log cabins are my favorite block -- I've produced *many* log cabin quilts through the years, and I'm always up for starting another one.

Up in LA, miles and miles of devastation and rubble, the scope is difficult to comprehend.  We're about 25 miles south of the fires.

I'm working along on my Queen of Hearts project.  Half square triangles trimmed and pressed, and blocks are starting to happen.  This is such a welcome change of pace from the intense concentration needed for Starowka -- almost instant gratification!  This is my own design, not a particular pattern, just making best use of cutting the fat quarters.

The block is a variation of Texas Puzzle -- different proportions but close enough.  I made a similar queen-size quilt using this plan way back in 2007.  Whew, lots of quilts under my belt aren't there?

 I'm struggling with the doldrums here, so I decided to shake myself up and start a completely new quilt project. (!!!)  (Because puttering with fabric cheers us up, right?)

I chose a fat quarter bundle of wovens from Fableism Supply Co. called 'Queen of Hearts,' and added a few other FQs to make the assortment scrappier and give me more combinations.

Squares cut, paired, and pressed -- tomorrow I can chain piece and trim without thinking too hard :)

Meanwhile, both RSC/pink and Little Blocks seem to have been put on the back burner already.  Not an auspicious start to the new year.
