Oh Scrap! : Last Orange RSC Blocks from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I was able to come just under the wire!

Even though today is the first day of March, I did finish my last RSC orange block in February. Whew!

I think these 6" little blocks are called Bright Hope. I have been grouping nine of them into a giant block and them framing them in a solid. I think these finish at 20".

One of the projects on the chopping block was my Bright Hope blocks. Here they are up on my design wall. I have tried to create various patterns and even made a few blocks going the other direction to see if that would help.

Oh Scrap! : October RSC Blocks from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It is time to pull out those dark scraps for October's RSC blocks. I didn't used to like these colors in my rainbow quilts but I have grown to appreciate them - especially brown. It's warm color really blends well with all of the other colors.

I finished up my ten Bright Hope blocks in brown. I don't have any plans to make them in black but I might make some in gray - I need to think about what size I want this quilt to be.

So far I only have forty of these 6" blocks so ...
