orange scraps

My focus this week for the rainbow scrap challenge. was  Jo's checkers . I sewed the white 2 1/2 inch square to each of my 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch rectangles for the 2 rows I wanted to make in orange. I have 3 more rows to make for this quilt this year.


I made 2 rows with 15 sets in each.


When I cleaned up around my sewing machine, I found 4 matching 4 1/2 inch squares in aqua. I thought I had made all the traffic jam blocks last month. nope Luckily, I had the very rare urge to clean more thoroughly. haha


I have reached a little health bump in the road and I am not sure what it will mean, yet.

    Those brick type strips are going to make a pretty rainbow quilt! Love the traffic jam blocks, too - I'm putting them on my list to make. Sending you good thoughts, Maggie!

    Very pretty start for Jo's Checkers. I made one a couple of years ago and enjoyed the pattern very much. Traffic jam is going on my list of what to do with my pile of 2 in. squares. Wishing you good health results, take care.
