To Australia, with love

A mediocre songstress was surprised when someone in the crowd yelled ENCORE following her ho-hum performance.

Twin Tree Block (falling short)

As she performed a second time, the same person yelled out - "and again, till you get it right"

Twin Tree Block (compensating)

That song is the twin tree block and that songstress is me!
By the time I got it right there were over 25 blocks. I figured I should make a few more.  I could definitely use the practice.

Pinned

In process

Trunks

And forty blocks later, we have two lovely flimsies.  I hope they will only see my intentions and not my imperfections.

Flimsy 1 (Thank you Paul)

Paul is the model. In the picture below, Flimsy 2 can be seen on the right, trying to photobomb Flimsy 1.

Flimsy 2 (Flimsy1is photobombing)

In deference to Valentine's Day I added a tree of pink hearts to each flimsy.
Although I considered including a koala or a kangaroo but the idea seemed contrived and was therefore abandoned.


The dismal/depressing wintry landscape of my backyard is the perfect backdrop for these lively greens.

40 Blocks = Two Flimsies

I am taking these with me to Quiltcon in Austin. I understand someone will be collecting the blocks and flimsies for the #BushFireBlocks.

Here are all the RSC blocks for February 2020. Since I love orange, I made not three but six large ones.

RSC 2020 - Orange Blocks

And two more!!!

In other words, these oranges are so juicy that I could not contain all of it in four large blocks.
It happily spilled into two more blocks.  That is fine. I have a feeling I won't be making as many yellow or brown blocks.


And this is the second RSC project. This time my low-volume fabric has a little more zing to it.

Low-Volume but a bit Louder

I am ready for March.  Will it be pink or yellow?
Will be linking with Angela's linky party, when it goes live...

Remember that pretty package of cuteness that Bernie sent me?  Well it was a squirrel disguised as a package.

Squirrel!!!

So I dropped everything and made it...

Scrappy & Yummy

No not a quilt...not even a flimsy.

But then scrap vortex is not a sprint. It is a marathon.  I chase a few scraps, corral them into a block or two and move on to the current project.

Thank you Bernie

Will link with Sandra's Dreami Linky party (once it goes live)...


Although I am dying to show you my new finish (another UFO slayed), it will have to wait till I return from Quiltcon in Austin!!!

I am linking with all my favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
As usual I look forward to your thoughts :-)
