Welcome to Polite Society.
Polite Society
Designed in EQ8 and made with the Island Batik collection, Essence, Polite Society is a precut-friendly design published in Precut Quilts Made Easy (A Quilter's World publication).
This is a beautiful collection. Look for it in your local quilt shop. For background, I used the Island Batik Neutral Egg White. The binding is another neutral named Glaze.

I quilted using a variegated thread and my trusted walking foot. You guessed it - my favorite squiggly stitch :-)
Beginner Friendly Quilt Pattern
Polite Society is a super easy, beginner-friendly, jelly roll pattern that you can put together easily without any special tools/templates.
The magazine (which is available in stores) has several other precut patterns. I recommend that you check it out.
Check out my Etsy Shop for many precut-friendly patterns as these.

In Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) updates, I completed Red Blocks for March.
Did you notice that the blocks for January & February are different. Well, I am working on two RSC quilts - separated into cools and warms. The cool colors + white background will make a log cabin quilt and the warm colors + black background will make a "to be named" quilt.
I also picked out my pinks for April. Sharing with all my favorite linky parties (see full list on the sidebar)including Angela's RSC.

Magically, Nature too got Angela's memo. All pictures were taken this week.

In other news (and my excuse for no blogging activity in a month), I traveled to my alma mater to reunite with old classmates and reminisce about fun times on and off-campus.
