Scrappy Orange Medallion

For some reason, none of my regular projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge have seen any progress yet this month. Instead, the majority of my piecing time has been spent playing with a collection of leftover orange (our color of the month for the RSC) half-square triangles. I shared the beginnings of this project in Monday's post.

My center block was made as a sample for a 2021 Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. The pattern is Sew Colorful Stars, and it is available from the Fat Quarter Shop HERE. Some of my scrappy triangles were made into 16 Friendship Star blocks, which now encircle the center block. This portion now measures about 38" square.

The rest of the sets of orange triangles were all made into pinwheel blocks. My current plan is to add a row of pinwheels across the bottom and top along with more of the orange/white border fabric. The goal is to get it to a size that works as a baby quilt.

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. 

Happy quilting everyone!
