Every month, every new color, in the rainbow scrap challenge. becomes my favorite block for my square dance quilt.
I made some twosies zig zag quilt blocks using the color orange. Each month, there are less options for combining them.
I had some really great orange charm squares for making rolling windmills. Making these each month, is not my usual choices for fabrics and combos. I am enjoying thinking outside the box..... literally. After all, the charm squares are in a box tee hee.
I decided I had enough variety of colors sewn in twosies to make a few orange sets of strip sets for stashbuster. I need to make 2 different strip sets to make the checkerboard.

Wow - great use of orange. Seeing your Windmill blocks reminds me that I have a few leftovers in the orphan block box. Maybe it's time to make those again.
ReplyDeleteThose rolling windmill blocks are awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny I am currently making a three yard quilt with that same colorful cat fabric.
ReplyDeleteOrange you clever with this assortment of blocks? Some people don't like orange -- I think it's cheerful!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how the twosies zigzag comes out.
ReplyDeleteA bit of this, a bit of that, and the blocks are growing nicely.
ReplyDeleteYou've had a good month of sewing with orange. Very fun blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove the Whirlwind blocks. I think your color combos look so fun and will eventually make a fun quilt. I must say that I am full of admiration for how nice your Square Dance blocks look. I typically fail at square-in-a-square blocks. Great job!!! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, 640 HST, that's a lot ;) I love your orange pinwheels, fun and cute prints! Thank you for sharing and linking up!
ReplyDeleteI have so little orange that I skipped it so looking forward to what the color will be for June.
