Tangerine Trail {RSC September 2017}

This weekend was a "Sew-in weekend" for me (other than my normal weekend chores) since my husband had to work both days. I have lots of progress to show you this week, including a finished quilt (!!!) on Friday AND a giveaway.

The first thing I worked on this weekend was my Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. I had actually cut out the "sidings" for my orange houses all the way back in July when I needed to use orange strips in my Stash Bee blocks. I still needed to cut the rest of the blocks. I've gotten to the point where I've memorized the cutting directions!

Here are my three orange blocks:


This brings my block total up to 38! I think that I will need to go back through and make one more block in each color to bring my total up to 48 for a 72" x 96" twin sized quilt. Next month is our last month with a color theme for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and it will be pink, I think, since we haven't made pink blocks yet.

I'm also excited to share about a finish that I had a little part in! My sister's best friend from birth is getting married in November and my mom, sister, and I worked furiously in secret to make blocks for a quilt! Amanda did all of the cutting, we each sewed about one-third of the blocks (I did the darker green ones!), and my mom quilted it. The pattern is Ombre Gems by Quilty Love.


Have a wonderful day!

    Beautiful sewing you've got done this past week. I've been enjoying seeing everyone's blocks for the RSC showing up. I'm looking forward to seeing all the finished quilts at some point.

    I can't believe we only have one more RSC color for this year. It sure went fast. Love the striped siding on your house. Too cute. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

    Did anyone else start singing "Little Pink Houses" in their head when they read about the next color?

    I think your houses are adorable! I can't wait to see all of them together...and better yet...a finished quilt top! How great is it that you, your mom and sister all worked together on such a special quilt?!! It'll be very well received I'm sure of that!

    Love the latest house blocks! It won't be long until you're assembling all of them into a top!
