End of the Month Scrappiness

It's hard to believe that it is the end of the month already. August just flew by (but I probably say that almost every month!) For the most part, it wasn't a terribly hot summer around here, but we've had quite a few 90+ days over the last couple of weeks. I am looking forward to shifting into fall. I am also looking forward to switching over to orange, our color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

My main progress this week in the light and bright greens for August was to finish stitching background hexies around my scrappy green star. Orange is the last color I need to make for this project, then I can get serious about adding background to all the stars and snowflakes. 


I already have a pile of orange hexies basted, just need to finish a few more before I start sewing them together. I love the colors of autumn!



Check out this week's Rainbow Scrap Challenge posts--lots of amazingly beautiful rainbow projects to inspire you! I am also linking up to the Hexie Weekend at A Quilting Reader's Garden, and to the Monday Morning Star Count at Life Under Quilts. Hexies all over the place--go check them out!

  2. Ah you are thinking ahead, I guess you knew that orange had to show up sooner than later! The orange looks great next to the light greens.

  14. My orange in my bin ended up being most all Halloween fabric so I'm going to baste them all and then see if there is possibly enough for a cute little Halloween wall hanging or table topper.
