Table Scraps Challenge and RSC

Our November assignment for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge is to begin assembly of our projects. I have two complete sets of rainbow blocks ready to be turned into quilt tops, but I need to figure out my sashing and border fabrics for one set, plus come up with a layout plan for the others, before I can start sewing blocks together.

Our color of the month for October was light neutrals, and I did manage to make another scrappy placemat for the 2023 ABC Table Scraps Challenge at The Joyful Quilter, although I didn't finish it in time for the link-up. My scrappy beige strips were too boring alone, so I added random bits of blue for some interest.

The back and binding are a very old beige and light blue swirly print. 

After that was finished, I pulled out a stack of little squares that had been hiding in my box of orphan blocks. The fall colors seemed like the perfect project this week. I used them to make 24 little bowtie blocks that each finish at 3". They were all joined together into another placemat, which was finished off with the beautiful leafy batik for the backing.

Both of these placemats will be donated to Meals on Wheels through our quilt guild. I will have quite a stack of them to turn in at our next meeting!

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. I'm also linking up with the ABC Table Scraps Challenge at The Joyful Quilter.

Happy quilting everyone!
