January is for RED!

As usual I'm behind the power curve! Ugh! I saw the hints about what January's RSC color was going to be but I wasn't 100% sure. Several days later it was made clear to me but I still lagged behind on what I planned to work on this year. But FINALLY it all came together and I believe I have a plan. Yes, a plan but no scrappy sewing ... yet.

I will be making scrappy, strippy units for a streak of lightning border. At least that's what I think it's called. This border will go on the RSC2020 String-X top. Here's a picture of String-X laid out and ready to sew together. I think my border plan will set it off nicely. There will be a narrow border in between the blocks and streaky border.

I did manage to make some progress on 2020Twisted and there was plenty of red. Unfortunately it was EXTRA RED because I was seeing RED. The first time I sewed these blocks together, I sewed all (yes, ALL) the corner units upside-down. It took longer to rip it all apart then it did to sew up the first time around. After all apart (again) I stacked these units up and went to bed. These absolutely will get sewn together correctly in the morning!

All sewn up correctly now.

I decided to lay them out with friends to see what I've got going. I didn't have enough room to lay out the right side but I think we can get the idea of what's going on here.

Look at all that RED! These blocks will be laid out on point. I've got most of the pieces cut and ready to sew up to make the setting triangles. Stay tuned!

Have a great weekend. I'll be reading plenty of RSC blogs over at Angela's SuperScrappy link. So much fun happening over there!
