I haven't been linking up posts with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge as frequently this year, but that is mostly because I don't seem to have as much to share. I am working on two new projects for the RSC, plus have carried over the Orange Peel blocks from last year.
My new Square Dance project has blocks that are very easy to make, but it takes me several days to get enough pieces together for all the blocks I want to make each month. I'm planning my quilt to run in a rainbow gradation of colors, and every block includes the color of the month and one of the colors that will be next to it. For instance, last month's color was orange, and I made blocks with orange and yellow, but I still have half my orange squares in reserve. When our chosen color is red, I will use the rest of the oranges with red squares, like the blocks shown here.
Here is my selection of teal, turquoise, and aqua squares. Half of them will be combined with blues for this month, and the rest will be used during the green month.
I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and with 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!

Great plan for your quilt...you have a nice selection of teal fabrics...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeletegreat plan - I'm only making one of them this year - too many other things. Love your colors
ReplyDeleteLove the new square dance project with the graduation of colors. You're always thinking out of the box with your gorgeous scraps.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Quilting is more fun than housework, lol! Love your teal/turquoise/aqua squares.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing those TEAL scraps working into blocks in the coming weeks!
ReplyDeleteThe color gradation is going to be really cool.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is demanding a lot of planning. In the end it will be all worth it. Love the orange blocks. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI like your plan for your blocks - it will be fun to see them develop! Looks like you have lots of pretty turquoises to choose from, too.
ReplyDeleteI know I have said this before...but you have the best scraps! Love your blocks. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteGoing to be a beautiful quilt. I'm also feeling like I'm not sharing as much as last year. Might be because we're all working on different patterns rather than just one -- last year's Tiny Tues blocks? At least we're all playng with the same colors. I like how you're letting the different months play with each other to get the gradation effect!
ReplyDeleteI love your Square Dance blocks. And Cynthis is right - you do have the best scraps!
