Red is January's RSC19 color, so I pulled the reds from that yellow monster. Yes, that small pile is all the reds I could find in that over stuffed tummy. But I am making the fun chandelier bead blocks a bit smaller than Debbie's so I don't need anything large. 2.5" center bead and 1.5" corners with the adjustments for the white braces. I plan to make one with a light background and one with the black background. The black background will have a color large bead and the smaller corner beads will be w/w's. I will make 10 blocks of each - should I need more later in the year, I can certainly quickly work more up.
I pulled my red shoe box totes which is a slim mess. Some items mixed went into the appropriate storage and smaller bits were chopped down into the barrel system.
A few FQ size nice and neat now with pieces for strings stacked. I had made a red quilt late into 2018. so I will just be happy that I have a clean plate right now.
My first finish of the year!! This is all I can show as this is my piece for the Black & White Hop. So you will have to wait until my date - January 21st.
A good start to the New Year,
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
Those chandelier blocks are lovely, and the reds, I have a few,but when I need a lot for a project, the box is sadly lacking.
