January Blues

Rosie has been busy sorting scraps
As January kicks off to a flying start, I'm trying hard not to commit to too many things. Startitis what brings burnout for me, so I want to be careful. I made several Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks in this February 2024 post, but there were no follow-up posts. In spite of all that, I've decided to play along with the RSC for 2026. The color for January is blue.

Beautiful quilt by Nancy of Grace and Peace Quilting
My tentative plan is to start blocks for this Nine-Patch and Snowball quilt by Nancy of Grace and Peace Quilting. I love the rainbow nine-patch blocks with the light print snowball blocks, and it is all scrappy!


Here is the start - 2 four-patch blocks and 2 snowball blocks

Linking to the following:

  1. Two diseases related to Quilting; Startitis and Endonitis! I definitely had both of them. Love that photo of Sweet Rosie (something rosemade. of course I don't know how to change the anonymous)

  8. I’ve wanted to make a 9P with Snowballs quilt for a long time. You picked a great one to sew, and you’re almost tempting me into Startitis too!

  11. Rosie looks a bit intimidating, like "Don't mess with my scraps". You've picked a fun RSC project. Wishing you a very productive 2026.

  12. I know what you mean about startitis! I seem to have a lingering case of it, LOL. You can't go wrong with the snowballs and 9 patches.
