Gold With a Touch of Rose String Quilt Blocks

Tweet

When I wrote about the colors being the color of the month with the soscrappy blog color challenge, I had several who commented saying to show the blocks when they were done. So, here they are. I think they came out very pretty. I could have made more, but ran out of batting that I had cut for the project. I look forward to finding out what the color will be in October so that I can make more. When I was visiting blogs of others who are doing the soscrappy blog color challenge, I ran across a few that talked about October being the last color month. They all stated that she doesn't give a color in November or December so that we can finish a quilt with the blocks we've made throughout the year. I've been following the blog for a few years, but never have I made it to work on things ALL year. This information was new to me. If it's true then I think I will go back to months I missed this year and do a couple of those colors in November and December. I'm looking forward to having several color sets done so that I can start putting the quilt top together. I'm trying to decide what color I want to use for the sashing. I like black because it stands out and it's easier to sew black on black and not be able to see that all my sewing isn't straight. I seen a black in the clearance aisle at the quilt shop that has a light design on it. I am thinking of going with that if I can round up the money I need to buy it during the shop hop this weekend. If not, then hope it doesn't get snatched up by someone else during the shop hop.
