RSC Green Scrappiness

My main focus for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge in 2025 has been making more "Terry" blocks, the scrappy little blocks inspired by Terry Rowland's colorwash quilts, which are featured in her series of three YouTube videosI started making these blocks last February,  but I missed making any in green because that had been the color last January. Green is our color for May at the RSC, so I spent much of the afternoon yesterday cutting up some green fabrics to use for my blocks.


Each piece of fabric measures about 4" x 5". As you can see, I have a lot of different greens (and there are still plenty more that weren't included.) My plan was to make 60 - 70 blocks, but I believe there are more than 80 pieces in those stacks. Now I need to cut each piece into segments, plus pull contrast squares and rectangles for the centers.


I did manage to put together the first few green blocks. 
These scrappy little blocks will finish at 3" each. The other color that was incomplete is purple. I've been making 60 - 70 blocks of each color, and only had 45 done in purple. Here are the purple blocks that were made in 2024, followed by the 25 new purple blocks made in late April.




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!

  7. You've done a great job picking your greens and purples. It really makes sense to lay them out the way you did to see how they all look together. You have an excellent eye for colors.
