The Stashbuster Square Dance blocks that I have been making for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge are turning out to be an ideal type of quilt project right now. I try to get all of my squares cut at the beginning of the month, then I can always keep some next to the sewing machine. The blocks are easy enough to be a good leader and ender project, and they are also a great choice to have ready when I need some super-simple stitching time at night.
Our Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for May is dark green. I'm using lots of medium/bright greens in these blocks, because the really dark greens would blend together with the black squares too much. This month's blocks combine the greens with teal/turquoise prints.
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 hope you are all staying well and getting lots of quilting done!

so dynamic, I like all the movement
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these blocks you’re doing. Did you prep lawn the color layout for these blocks in order to determine which color pairs to sew?
ReplyDeleteThose are always fun to see! I love how your plan is coming together!
ReplyDeleteSigh... These blocks are SEW lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteI’m being tempted to do this year’s Stash Buster...but I haven’t yet! Yours is really pretty !
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are always so stunning! You must have an amazing stash. You most definitely have a great sense of color! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLove these blocks. You have the best scraps :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
This is beautiful, Julie! I love how sultry and moody your blues and greens become with the addition of black. Kind of like contemplating the depths of the oceans, with the blues and greens near the surface getting darker and darker where the light of the sun cannot penetrate.
ReplyDeleteI think your choices of greens and blues are working beautifully with the black squares!
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are really rocking together. You are right about a really dark green would look black. Smart lady to realize that! Enjoy your progress.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks. Looking forward to seeing the rainbow emerge from this quilt when it's all stitched together.
