Scrappy Rainbow Saturday--Week 16, 2020

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge has been a regular part of my quilting and blogging routine ever since 2013. That was the first year that I joined in with the RSC, and I've never slowed down! One thing that I have learned about myself and my quilting preferences is that I love making scrappy blocks that can include many different fabrics of a single color. This year that has lead to my Scrappy Bear Paw blocks.


I was especially excited to make this month's block in light/bright blues because it meant I got to use one of the best background fabrics ever! 



This paper airplanes print was part of a line called "On the Lighter Side" from Robert Kaufman Fabrics. I've been waiting eagerly for the chance to use this piece. There are more fun fabrics still to come from that group!



I was able to clear off one of my design walls and put up all four Bear Paw blocks that have been made so far this year. I wish the background on the green block looked more white than limey green, but other than that, I'm very happy with how these are looking.


I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework on SundayI hope you are all staying well and getting lots of quilting done!

  4. This is going to look very neat! I have been haunting RSC for two years now and have finally started a little project just to see if that works. So far, so good.

  5. Oh, goodness...that is a perfect background, indeed! I made a scrappy Bear Paw long time ago for my youngest son. It was one of my fav quilts with big paw print sashing.

  7. Love that paper airplane fabric, it is pretty fun. Your RSC blocks look great. I started sewing along with RSC the year before you did. Some of my most favorite quilts were made by following along with the changing colors.
