It has been several months since this project made an appearance, but I've been wanting to get caught up on my colorwash blocks as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 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.
I made 48 yellow blocks last April and May, and they made a lovely sunny glow on the design wall.
I made blocks in a different color each month, based on the monthly color assigned for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I ended up with more than 60 blocks for some colors later in the year, so I decided to make some more from yellow scraps that hadn't been used yet.
I was easily able to find 20 more yellow fabrics to use for additional blocks. After that I looked at all of the yellow blocks on the design wall together.
These scrappy little blocks will finish at 3" each. There are still a couple other colors that need additional blocks, plus I never made any green blocks last year because I started this project after that month had already ended. The assigned color for April is red, and I will work on those blocks next. I'll continue filling out my block collection over the upcoming months.
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!

ReplyDeleteLovely yellow fabrics in your blocks! Thanks for the link to Terry's You Tube videos. I'm always looking for new ways (to me) with scraps!
