This week, I have two with small piecing and one with larger piecing:
#42 -- Fruit Basket, #43 -- Garden Path, #44 -- Gentleman's Fancy
These came together slightly faster than the previous weeks' blocks because there were fewer "parts" of the block to sew together to finish them. I think may favorite out of these three is the Garden Path block.
Now I am done with all eleven blocks for this month:
While my orange scrap pile was not as large as some of the piles I started with in previous months, I still seemed to make a respectable dent in reducing the pile. I am just realizing now that I made three different basket blocks this month!
I think I am going to have to start on another scrappy type project this month since I have met my Rainbow Scrap Challenge goal for the month! Decisions, decisions...
Sharing at Scrap Happy Saturday!
Some terrific oranges! Who knew there were so many varieties, right? Great blocks. I have some more to do for..gulp, tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny that some people doing this challenge say they have fewer orange scraps than other colors. Orange gets no respect, but it is really a pretty color. You've made some great blocks with your scraps!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great collection of orange fabric, and now it's all been converted into wonderful blocks. Lovely collection!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gallery of blocks! Nice assortment. Hope you have a plan. LOL
ReplyDeleteThese look great all together. Maybe you have a 'basket quilt' in your future!
ReplyDeletemy orange scrap pile is smaller too... and I really like orange because of the energy it carries. Wonder why? LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic variety of blocks, and I love your use of the accent color!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific array of blocks. I just wandered in from SoScrappy, so I apologize if you've covered this. Are you following a particular set of patterns or just doing designs you've liked and wanted to do?
ReplyDeleteOops, should have dug deeper, I see you're doing Farmer's Wife. They do look great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection. I can hardly wait to see all the blocks come together.
ReplyDeleteI love all your blocks - the baskets are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteOrange is one of my new favorite colors. I'm finding it harder and harder to resist adding just one more FQ...
I love ALL your orange blocks. They are beautiful. Perfect. The RSC has made me realize how much I love the color orange.
ReplyDeleteLovely collection,
ReplyDeleteI didn't have much orange either, so I actually bought a couple fat quarters! But as soon as I cut into them, then I will have scraps. That counts, right?! Your blocks look great, and so pretty with the black accents!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking batch of blocks! Be careful with those thoughts of starting another RSC project - they have a way of taking over your quilting life!
ReplyDeleteYour orange's made some very pretty blocks. You had a lot of variation in depth of color and pattern. It's going to be a very fun quilt.
