It seems like the majority of my quilting time lately has been spent doing hand applique. My sewing machine will start to feel neglected soon. I finished up the set of Orange Peel blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge in our colors of teal/turquoise/aqua for April. Here they are with the blocks from the previous three months.
I have also completed my Framed Crumb Star block for April. This block finishes at 12".
I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and with Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts and Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful projects that everyone is sharing!

Love the orange peel blocks.
ReplyDeleteThose orange peel blocks are so pretty in that rainbow of colors! Love the crumb star block, too - such a good idea for a scrappy block!
ReplyDeleteThe orange peels are striking! Love the dark background. I like the framed crumb star also. One of these days, I want to draft that out and see if I can duplicate it! Scrappy is my fav!
ReplyDeleteI love your orange peels - I did that pattern once into a queen size - took a whole year to make at least!
ReplyDeleteYour RSC orange peels are beautiful; and the crumb star is so pretty. nice works...
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter hugs, Julierose
Lovely AQUA scraps in BOTH of your projects!!
ReplyDeleteLove your orange peel blocks, they certainly glow against the dark background. I've never done them, do you do needle turn?
ReplyDeleteLove the orange peel blocks. We just talked about them at our applique group and how they are also called Lafayette Orange Peel blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove that crumbed syar. Must add to my list!
ReplyDeleteOh that orange peel is going to be an awesome quilt. I agree hand work is addictive. But it is nice to play on the machine also.
ReplyDeleteI love your orange peel blocks! they are fun to stitch... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI've been making crumb blocks with no idea how I will use them, so I like your solution since it would also use scrap squares and HSTs so it's a triple hit.
