It has been a very productive week for Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects here. Our assigned color for June has been purple, and I completed my blocks on three different RSC projects. I didn't think I was going to get all of them done before the end of the month, but here they are, with several days to spare!
I made 25 Kaleidoscope blocks using 30's fabrics, including several fabrics that my sister sent me recently. The blocks will finish at 6".
I also completed 40 Bowtie blocks. These are meant to be "pastel" colors, but I didn't really have enough lighter purples, so I used what I could find. These blocks finish at 5".
The last of my RSC stitching for the week was to make my purple Sew Colorful Stars block. This block will finish at 16".
I couldn't resist putting all six of these blocks up on the wall together. I'm planning to make twelve blocks total, and they will have sashing in between to separate all those triangle points.
The other blocks I made in purple earlier this month were the Homespun blocks and the Scrap Magnet blocks. Lots of purple and lavender scraps have been getting used up around here! I'm ready to find out what our color for July will be. My guess is either medium-dark blue or greenish blues (aqua/teal/turquoise).
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.
