This month's chosen color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is ORANGE . So why am I showing a rainbow of blocks?
The truth is, I have learned that the real challenge of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is...waiting!
This month, I dutifully pulled out the orange scraps
then I made my usual half dozen "Birds in the Air" blocks,
and, also the bonus crumb block:
But...rather than pack them away to wait until next month, I went ahead and sewed up the same blocks from the blue and purple fabrics that I cut out last month. Now what was a gal to do but put them up on the design wall and take a peek?!
Each month I have been making 6 blocks of each color, but this layout requires only 4 of most colors, so I will have plenty of leftovers to put towards a second quilt.
Whenever the June color is announced, I'll have to consider starting a new pattern for each month's scraps, as I'm planning on keeping this kid sized, but I'm just fine with that. If I can't think of a pattern, there is plenty of inspiration from the other bloggers who post each month over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge link up page.
This looks wonderful! The colorful birds in the air blocks look beautiful together. Sew inspiring ... :) Pat
