RSC September Blocks

This month's color is purple. I had fun with these, because I don't play with purple very often. I should make a point of using more purple in my future.

In other project news, I found out about a shelter for men.. they need some large-ish quilts, and ugly is the specific request. I have heard that in the homeless world, ugly stuff has less chance of being stolen. So.. purposely making a couple ugly quilt tops was sort of fun, and used up some yardage of ugly fabrics. These run approximately 55" x 75". My cousin will quilt these for me on her new long arm machine.

August RSC Blocks

I finally got my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks made. The blues I used are not that different from the earlier blue month, so I made only three. Click here to see beautiful blocks made by others.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge, June and July

I finished two blocks in June (blue), but forgot I had made them. I found them when I finished my July blocks (pink).

While I was at it, I made a few other random pinks.

May RSC

Rainbow Scrap Challenge for May -- color was orange. You can see the beautiful work by other RSC participants here.

RSC: Aqua

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge scrap color for April was aqua. I got behind and only finished my blocks yesterday, May 5.

Now I will need to get busy and make my May blocks. The color is orange.

Just for fun I put all the blocks I have so far up on my design wall. This is pretty! I'm going to have a lot of blocks when I'm done and will have fun making a couple of quilts or one large one.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Green

Well, March is almost over so I figured I better get my March RSC blocks posted. I made three right away, but waited, because I knew I wanted to make more. Got two more done today, so here you go.. half an hour left of Saturday, so I got in on the Saturday post sharing, barely.

I'm having fun with these.

Rainbow Scraps: Yellow

The second month of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is Yellow. I made only one block so far. I don't have many yellow scraps and am even low on yellow in my stash. I might make one more, but that will come later in the month, if at all.

Edit on 2/15/19.. I did find more yellow and made two more blocks

You can see other yellow blocks made for the month here.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I am finally actually doing the RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) which I have loosely followed for years but never joined in until now. These are my January blocks. January's color was RED. I didn't know there was a Saturday link-up, so I'm late. I'll get the hang of it pretty soon. Check out the other RED blocks and projects here: RSC Scrap Happy Saturday.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

This year I am going to participate in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I have been meaning to do this for years.. just never got my act together. Plus, I thought it was more complicated than it is. Just make blocks of your own choosing, using the color she announces for each month. The idea is to "use up" your scraps. We all know how impossible that is, but it's a good goal anyway.

I put a button in my sidebar. When you get to her blog, click on the RSC19 tab for the explanation.

January's color is RED! Let's get busy using up our scraps (or at least attempting to make a dent in them).

Here's a picture of her Sampler made in 2018 from her monthly scrap blocks.

One year she did a rainbow Dear Jane! I'm not going to get this complicated. I don't know my plan yet, but it will be simple.
