Scrappy Rainbow Saturday--Week 10, 2020

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 SundayBe sure to check out all of the wonderful projects that everyone is sharing!

  10. Going 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!
