My new quilts for the 2025 Rainbow Scrap Challenge are still undecided, but for now I am concentrating on finishing up some of the 2024 RSC projects. For the first of my Hollow 9-Patch quilt tops, I joined the blocks into groups of four, then added sashing and cornerstones in between.
Hollow 9-Patch #1
40.5" x 53.5"
The sashing fabric is a fun black-on-white print, and the cornerstones have the whole rainbow of colors in a recent favorite fabric. I considered adding a border of that fabric, but I like the finished size of this quilt top. Instead, I will probably use that rainbow fabric for the binding.
After finishing the first top, I still had a stack of Hollow 9-Patch blocks left and have been playing with possible layouts for them. This is my current favorite.

When I first put the blocks up on the wall, they didn't have any spacing between them, and that really didn't work for me. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos of that version. Trust me when I say that this is better. The next step will be to find fabrics for the sashing and setting triangles, then get these blocks joined together.
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!

Hollow Nines is such a fun block and I like both your settings! I have a few leftover from my RSC2024 also. :)
