A Scrappy Happy Week of Teal

There were teal scraps all over the place in my sewing room this week, all being used for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects. I made all of my Split Pinwheel blocks for the RSC 2016 Sampler, including one rebel block that wanted to spin in the opposite direction of all the others.

There are four more Folded Box blocks added to the two from last week. This has been a great learning experience in choosing fabrics that work together to produce the 3-D effect in these blocks.

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

  3. Your double pinwheels are super! I love that you used a consistent background (and wish I had done the same). And those folded box blocks are to die for!
