I have time with my rainbow scrap challenge sewing, this month, to start assembly for my hollow nine quilt. I decided I wanted to cut a 2 inch strip for each of the sashings. I have 27 blocks, and my goal was 25, so I am good to go. I was able to add sashings to all the blocks at my Friday sew. They are such colorful blocks. I really like them together.
Not much aqua sewing for the rainbow scrap challenge. I injured my finger over labor day ( no doctors available), and, we have spent a week without the internet. And, I may or may not have had a grumpy cat attitude. But, I have been thinking about next year.
I have 5 ideas and only 1 that I am sure I want to make. Of course, as soon as I see everyone else's projects I will be inspired. I think I want to do bonnie Hunter's sugar grove for my rsc project. As part of the 5 quilt project ...

I cut and sewed a little bit of yellow this week for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. I made 9 patches for diffusion which is done in fall colors. I might add a few brown later this year, and, then, count, and recalculate what I need.

Yellow is officially my favorite color. I find it a difficult color to like in fabric. Pops of it are fun in any scrappy quilt, but, finding a consistent dependable yellow seems difficult. I will keep trying. I made hollow nine blocks and fish school blocks for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.

I made red hollow nine patch for my rainbow scrap challenge, and the flowers starts, I want for the applique. I really like these in red.
The hollow nine blocks are finished using orange and 3 1/2 inch squares.
My start for purple and the rainbow scrap challenge.
I cut fish school ( and keeping a close eye on them), and the QSTs for box kite border.
First taste of green scraps for the rainbow scrap challenge. I made three hollow 9 blocks for my quilt project.
I dug through my 1 1/2 inch green scraps and cut sashings for my garlic knots ufo.
I made hsts for fish school in green.
I was anxious to see what pink lurks in the scrap drawers for the the rainbow scrap challenge. It is such fun to start a new color each month. I did manage to find enough 3 1/2 inch squares to sew 3 pink hollow nine squares.
The first project for my rsc uses hollow nine blocks. I am using 3 1/2 inch squares. I have a box full of 3 1/2 inch strips, and, I saw a quilt that uses these blocks in colors that I can do for the rainbow scrap challenge. I only need to make 3 in each color. I've tried to make the projects for this year a little easier, so, that, I can focus the rest of the time on cleaning out the UFO closet. Somehow, the rainbow projects take over, though.
