Rainbow Scrap Challenge #6

This month's colour is green. So I know there is plenty in my stash for these blocks. Here are a few I pulled for this month's blocks. Yes there is a little bit of blue  peeking out  amongst the green. It is part of a green stripe, I will cut around it if I have to.

There is 3 blocks this month and with the shortage of time on my hands I cut the centres of the blocks one night. Then the next night I pieced the blocks.

Then cut and sewed the sawtooth star part of the blocks to complete them the following night,  just enough time to write this post and squeeze it in before the month finished.

 The second block is my favourite this month. As I write this post next month's colour has just been released it is Light Blue.

Until Next Time

Rainbow Scrap Challenge # 3

February colour is pink for our Rainbow Scrap Challenge. It's not a favourite colour of mine but I do like some of the pink shades out there. So there is some pink fabric in my stash.  So on Saturday afternoon while it was 40 degrees + outside I got stuck in to complete my pink February blocks. The first block for February was Marley block and features more flying geese. Lots of flying geese so far this year. Interesting thought! Maybe it is a theme developing like last years half square triangle theme.

The second block for February was an easy block that I really liked. I was thinking 4 of these blocks together would make an interesting block if you did something with the square, maybe a small block in each one or just change the colours for each of the 4 blocks and you would have a scrappy four patch in the centre. Something to play with in EQ7 next time. I having been doing lots of playing in EQ7 I will have to start bringing some of my ideas out of the computer and into the studio so I can bring them to life.

 Both block were easy to complete with their star points. I took the time to cut some extra background pieces for the star blocks ready for next month so I just have to cut the star points to March's colour when I am ready to sew March's blocks.

I have linked this post Rainbow Scrap Challenge link up so pop over and have a look at some of the blocks created this month.

Until Next Time

Rainbow Scrap Challenge #1

Over at So Scrappy the Rainbow Scrap Challenge has began. I found her blog during 2014 and was very interested in last year challenge but it was too late in the year to join in. So I just followed along and enjoy everyone's progress. When the  2015 Rainbow Scrap Challenge was released I decided to join in this year. It is a Sawtooth Star Sampler quilt. The Sawtooth Star block measures at 12 1/2 inch unfinished.

This month's colour is blue and our first block is the Whirling Geese set in a sawtooth star block.
Here is my first block the Whirling Geese which is the centre part of the block.(6 1/2 inch)

Here is my first block set in it sawtooth star.

The background for the star points will be the same fabric throughout my project. The star points will be that month colour and the centre will be that month colour with others depending on the pattern.

There is a button in the right hand side tool bar if you want to have a look at this project or if you want to join us.

Here is the link for you to have a look at others progress.
