Scrappy Rainbow Saturday--Week 6, 2020

Progress has slowed down considerably, but I am still hand stitching more Orange Peel blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I made close to 150 of these blocks during 2019 and don't need too many more.

Green was our color for January, and orange is February's color. I am shooting for 24 blocks in each of these colors, so I'm close to my goal on these sets. I think there are a few more finished green blocks around here somewhere--I wonder where they are hiding?

I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. I'm also linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Be sure to check out all of the wonderful projects that everyone is sharing!

    Every time I see your Orange Peel blocks on grey I want to start my own. They are so calling my name. Great work, Julie! ;^)

    Love your orange peels on a dark background. Orange peels are on my list, but I worry about when I sew the blocks together how well they will match.

    Love how you have arranged all your orange peels. The fabrics you have used are fabulous. I wonder where those hiding green pretties are??

    I'm usually ambivalent about gray backgrounds, but your dark grays just make those colors glow! Fabulous!

    I started orange peel blocks for RSC 3 or 4 years ago and never made it past the first month of light blues. Yours look great.
