There's a new project making an appearance on my design wall today. It's a set of blocks for the Scrap Snap Quilt Along, hosted by Kari at Quilts for the Making. I have no memory how I learned about this QAL, but it was probably someone participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. The following images are from Kari's planning page to give some examples of possible layouts--perfect for the RSC, right? How could I resist?
Besides the obvious rainbow appeal, one other great thing about this project is the simplicity of the blocks. They are made completely from squares and rectangles. Each block finishes at 6", and there are ten blocks in each color.
I made my first set of blocks in greens since dark green is our color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. My blocks also include the lighter greens that we used back in January. I've been pulling out teal and turquoise scraps to make some blocks in those colors next.
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!

I can see what that qal appealed to you, because your photos from her site immediately pulled me in, too! Lots of neat design options with those blocks! Your greens are pretty in those blocks.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, Julie!! I've been thinking of making some of these blocks, too. How are you enjoying the construction?
ReplyDeleteThat sure does look like fun! Thanks for sharing that QAL with us, Julie!
ReplyDeletelove your blocks! it's an exciting new start- i'm off to see what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that looks really interesting! Do you know yet which layout you'll be making with your blocks?
ReplyDeleteThese blocks look a lot like the block Kat used for Covered in Love a few months back. I think those were 10.5" unfinished. This will be a good RSC addition.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great rainbow quilt pattern! It is looking great in your greens so far.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a good scrap user block! It’s going to be great!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish you hadn't shared this! I am checking it out thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteOh wow...now this looks like a fun project! It would be so difficult for me to choose a favorite layout. You make the greens for this month's RSC look good...I had such a hard time accepting it.
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I love the third layout, adding black is a good idea for a rainbow quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link! This looks like it could be loads of scrappy fun!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a ton of fun. And definitely a great way to use scraps. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun scrappy project!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun QAL and it looks like a great quilt plan! I'm thinking it would be fun in school colors too! Hmmmm .... might just join in also as I've got a few college graduates coming up in the next year or two. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeletelove all the colors
