January 2018 OMG Completed!

2017 was my year of making Scrappy Trip Around the World blocks as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Every month was a new color, and I made 4-6 blocks each month, occasionally even more. I adapted Bonnie Hunter's pattern, substituting 3" strips instead of the 2.5" strips she uses. My blocks finish at 15".

 I was able to complete two quilt tops from those blocks, one using warm colors and one using all cool colors.

60" x 75"
Cool Scrappy Trips
72" x 89"

 At the beginning of January, I shared this photo of the Scrappy Trips  blocks that were left over after I completed my two quilt tops. My goal for the month was to make three more green blocks, then get all the blocks joined together into yet another top.

I'm happy to report that finishing this quilt top was my January goal for the One Monthly Goal link-up at Elm Street Quilts. Month #1 for 2018 was a success! I'm so pleased to have all three of these quilt tops completed!

    These are both stunning quilts. I think curating the scraps to warm or cool for each quilt really made them special.

    Wow! You did a great job on all those quilts. I love the idea of using this block for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Must copy your idea!

    All three quilts are great. I like that each one has a different layout. Way to go accomplishing your goal.
