Do I have a Rainbow Scrap Challenge finish for blue February? Nope. Did I start on RSC yellow March? Nope. But if you put blue and yellow together, you get green and I DO have a green finish!
Quite a few years ago, my friend gave me a Riley Blake Designs kit, may have been for my birthday. I loved it even though it got put on the back burner for a while. The pattern is copyrighted for 2020 to give an idea of "a while ago". I decided it was time I put it together for St. Patrick's Day. What do you think?
It is quite large at 20" x 20". Mine actually ended up being a little smaller, probably closer to 19" x 19". I stuffed it with a 22" pillow form to really fill it out.
Pretty much fills up my rocking chair!
Checking the weather ...
Getting a little sunshine showed off its true colors!
Now to dig into yellow for the merry, merry month of March(?)! Have a great weekend!
I'll bet there's plenty of blue scraps that made it to blocks and maybe even into quilts! I'm heading over to Angela's blog SoScrappy as soon as I get this posted!
Susie, your pillow is adorable and so seasonally appropriate! Don’t worry, LOL, your blue and yellow scraps will still be there after your pillow finish. Are you a Pisces too?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reassurance that my blue & yellow scraps will still be near. I was surely worried that I'd never see them again! Lol!!! I am a Pisces as is my brother whose birthday is Monday! What about you?
DeleteLovely cushion ... perfect for St Patrick's Day
ReplyDeleteThank you! Made it just in time and I'm so pleased.
DeleteYou've got yourself a handful of four leaf clovers! Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just love the fabric colors. Sure helps that green is my favorite color!
DeletePS I don't know what's wrong with my blog: took forever to see your comment! Sorry I'm so late responding.
Well, I think this pillow is just plain cute as can be, Susie! Beautiful job and all ready for St. Patrick's Day. Have a great day. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks! We are just about ready for St. Patrick's Day. I've got my finished pillow and the corned beef & cabbage is ready to be cooked. All that's left is to make the Irish Soda Bread this weekend! Erin go Braugh!
DeleteYes, the cushion will make a great addition to your St. Patrick's Day decor. Personally, I'm still chuckling over your justification for making something green during the bridge between blue and yellow on the RSC. You are a true creative.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm pretty good at making thnkgs work in my favor! Lol!
DeleteToo cute pillow for St Patrick's Day!!! Blue + yellow = green: works in my book!!!

DeleteLovely finish! I have the exact same pillow on my sofa right now. It was a fun one to make.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet yours has been finished for quite some time! Hahaha! Did you do any of the other pillow kits? I loved the black cat one and the American flag one too. Actually they were all sweet!
DeleteLove your large pillow! Great design for St. Patrick's Day. A large pillow for my rocking chair is on my bucket list... one day! I'm sure you'll get time to do something about your blue and yellow scraps, they go perfect together.
ReplyDeleteWith the pillow finished and the corned beef & cabbage bought, all I need to do to get ready for St. Patrick's Day is make the Irish Soda Bread! Yay! 🍀
