June and July RSC16

I am still playing catch up with things after getting home from vacation!  My RSC16, June and July, blocks were at the top of the list yesterday. Today I am glad to report they are all done!  Aqua was the color for June and hot pink for July.  Each month I have been making blocks for 2 different quilts.

This one is from the Summer 2015 Quiltmakers 100 Block magazine.  My string bin runneth over, so I am trying to help get the lid back on, LOL


This is the way I planned to lay them out after all the colors are made.

But then my friend Jasmine planted a seed of  'Have you tried laying them out in an X'.  Well no I had not, so of course I had to then:-)   Now I like them both so maybe someday I will have to make more blocks!


Tropical Punch from Moda Bake Shop caught my eye and so that is my second RSC16  quilt. Two of each color gets made each month.


 The original has corner stones, but, I stopped putting them on the blocks after the first 2 blocks. Not sure if I want to put them in the quilt or not. That decision will be made after all the colors are made also.

  2. I love your string blocks, whether placed as X's or O's. Or maybe both? Your Tropical punch is looking great, too! What a fun post!

  3. Hmmm - the Xs and Os! That's going to be a toughie. It'll be a gorgeous quilt either way.

  5. I see X's and O's in both layouts. So, I think just add some more blocks and you get the best of both! ��

  6. What fun and happy quilts they will be, no matter which layout you choose. I'm glad I don't have to decide, although I do like Allenquilts idea of using both.

  7. What happens if you alternate the x's and o's?
    I love your blocks, no matter how you put them together.

  8. You could always combine blocks and make an OXO quilt, like the game. Lovely bright colours though, and I like your Tropical Punch blocks too.

  13. Your blocks are pretty and bright. Maybe you could make one color an O block and another color an X block.
