Scrappy Rainbow Saturday--Week 21, 2021

It has been a busy week with travel and errands, but I managed to find some time over the last two days to make my two red Scrap Magnet blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Scrap Magnet pattern by Kirsty of Bonjour Quilts

I enjoy making these blocks every month. The piecing is easy, but choosing the fabrics can be a challenge. I thought the striped fabric would look lighter in this dark red block.


The contrast works better in my bright red block. I especially love the fabric with the black sewing machines on it.


The month of May has flown by, and it's hard to believe that we are nearing the end of the month. I need to go back through my projects for the RSC and see what else needs to get done in the next week and a half.

Be sure to check out all of the wonderful scrappy projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday and at Oh Scrap! over at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday.

    Those are such great blocks! I like the contrast of your darker red block with your lighter red block. It has been a busy month - hard to believe it will be June soon!

    You do have an eye for coordinating fabrics in blocks as shown by these lovely ones. It is not that easy as I've struggled often with making those choices. Not all reds play well together which goes for all the colours I guess. Meanwhile, Julie hope you are having a great weekend.

    It's certainly a beautiful block! I'd have a difficult time finding enough reds!

    The taupe fabric is really nice in these blocks. Great choice! Probably not something I would have considered. Thanks for sharing with oh Scrap!
