More Terry Blocks

After finishing the yellow "Terry" blocks last week, I decided to get right into making red blocks. Red is the color for April at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I had already made 36 of these blocks in red last year, but I'm now working toward having around 60 blocks of each color group.

 

Here are last year's red blocks. There are 36 of them, but I've decided to leave out the one in the bottom row with the very white wavy lines; it's just too distracting.

Here is the new batch that I finished this week. 31 more blocks for the collection.

That all adds up to a big, beautiful mass of red! 66 red blocks total.

I started making these blocks early last year, inspired by Terry Rowland's colorwash quilts, which are featured in her series of three YouTube videos. That is why I call them my "Terry" blocks.

These scrappy little blocks will finish at 3" each. The only colors left to make are around 15 purple blocks and 60 or so in green. I'm not planning to include brown or black, but might end up adding some if needed to finish off the outer edges of the quilt.

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

Happy quilting everyone!
