Indigo and Black

This week I finished making the rest of my August blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Our color for the month is indigo (purplish blue), with black and grey as alternate choices. I tried to pull out blues that tend toward purple for my appliqued circle blocks. Here they are on the design wall along with all the other blue circles from an earlier month, plus 50 bowtie blocks in blacks and greys.



I also finished the top for my UFO of the month which has quite a bit of black in it. Last week I talked a bit about my method for joining the diagonally set blocks together in this quilt. Check out my post from Monday if you would like more detailed information on that technique. I am almost done piecing the back for this quilt.


Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday.

    You did have a good month. I almost missed all the bowtie blocks, they blend in so well with those circle quilt that you'd think they were one project.

    Wonderful use of those old nine patches. Very interesting assembly. No matter how I would assemble it I'm sure all of the blocks would be out of order.

    Can't wait to see the assembly of that shadow circle quilt!

    What an interesting arrangement those bow ties make with the circle blocks. Do you think you'll set them together like that?
