I really liked making these border blocks for the project. I need three or four of each color each month. Here's my four bright green for November:
I posted my bird on Saturday. For extra fun I am string piecing each folk art bird. This block is a huge 17"! My plan is to use the RSC color of the month and make one of the 12 bird blocks and three to four of the border blocks each month. Fun, fun! The sashings will just be fun scraps string pieced together. (Bonus scrap buster!)
I also am considering this my Let's Book It Challenge. With this new project I am also joining in with Sharon at Vroomans Quilts for the Let's Book It Challenge. You can get inspiration from Sharon's linky party here.
This quilt is in the book Making Quilts w/Kathy Doughty. You can find in on Amazon here. I got it at my local library! Woot woot! Lately I am finding a LOT of books and patterns I need by using my local library's search engine. If my local library doesn't have it, I can get it from another library in Ohio. Cool, huh?
Check out what others are doing with the RSC15 color of the month, bright green on Angela's blog, Soscrappy.

Looks like a great plan. You are all ready for a new year.
I love the way your first block knots in the middle. The bird quilt should be a fun scrappy stash buster.
This is definitely going to be a fun quilt.
I love the string piecing of the birds! It's a fun twist and very cute!
What an interesting pattern! Looking GOOD in light/bright GREEN!!!
The bird is so graceful and folksy. A great plan for the new year. Good going!
Great idea using the library for patterns. Your light and bright greens look great.
Beautiful green bird. I need to check my local library for block patterns. Thanks for the idea.
