Orange Scrappy Trips

I've been MIA over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for the past few weeks due to a combination of busy work schedule and nothing to share for our August color assignment of light neutrals. I did discover an inspiration piece that may become a future neutral quilt design.

I included two photos because the colors varied so much with and without the flash. I love the different textures in the colored bands. The source of my inspiration--a Kleenex box!

 As we head into September, our RSC color changes over to orange. When I pulled out my 3" orange strips for the Scrappy Trips blocks, I was disappointed by the very limited selection of fabrics. Then I made the happy discovery that I had already made three Scrappy Trips blocks in orange. After searching through photo files and old blog posts, I determined that these were made in April of 2016. It turns out that I only need to make one more block for this month.

I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful projects that everyone is sharing!

    I've noticed those Kleenex boxes lately, too! Funny to find quilt inspriation there, but why not?! Your orange blocks are also a lovely discovery, and nice to know you only have one more to make.

    That just proves that inspiration is everywhere you look. I think it would make a stunning modern quilt. Go for it! And lucky you finding those three finished blocks. Have a fun week!.

    That Kleenex box pattern would make up brilliantly in a quilt and in a number of colourways. Your orange TOTW is the perfect offering for RSC this month.

    That is a cool design for the neutrals. Hope you get a chance to play with that inspiration soon. Hopefully you can find enough orange in the stash for one more block.
