week 1 black and gray scraps

 It's time for a new color for the rainbow scrap challenge, so, I went digging in my 2 1/2 inch bag for small pieces that I could turn into  tulip swirl blocks. I want to use black and gray this month. I tend to skip these colors in my rsc projects, so these scraps are buried in the deep recesses. But, I won't give up the fight.

I think for the new year, I will concentrate on finishing the rainbow scrap challenge unfinished quilts. I have plenty to keep me busy. I just like making blocks and don't really finish them. It's time to change that.

I only needed 2 more square play blocks to finish for the year. I still need to make the 2 1/2 inch squares frame.

I still like making crackers and jam blocks. It's amazing how many little scraps I am finding while trying to clean up my sewing area. I may get tired of the eventually.

It won't be a month of colorful pictures. so... 1 orange

week 4-purple scraps

  Not much progress on the rainbow scrap challenge this week. I did make purple rolling windmills.

 I did make more purple crackers and jam. I even trimmed them to size and depapered some.

I have a few more to finish up before the end of September.

week 3 purple scraps

My hubby had a hip replacement this week. Everything went well, but, we had some preparation we needed to do. Not much sewing going on here.

I made a few more purple crackers and jam.blocks.

It was time to turn my attention square dance. I made 16 patches with 2 inch squares, and added the purple hsts. I need 2 or 3 more to make the quilt, but I am used all the colors in the layer cake. I will need to scrounge around to finish.

week 2 purple scraps

 I am pretty sure this is the last of making candy chains blocks for the rainbow scrap challenge.. I can start assembly of the top.

crackers and jam. paper pieced blocks are addictive. Each one is so cute. I have no idea how many I will want for a quilt. I think I will carry this into 2027.

My purple square play blocks are ready to join the pile. I have all the blocks I need to start assembly

The green flower is stitched to the hollow nine flimsy, and two more flowers  are ready. Next time, I will do the applique on the border before adding it to the quilt. I do think I will need to cut more flowers.

If I find a suitable scrap, I am making  tulip swirl blocks with them. I added a few more. They are 4 1/2 inch squares, so, I am sure I will need a gazillion of them.

week 1 purple scraps

 The applique for my hollow nine rainbow scrap challenge has waited a long time to proceed. Despite the fact that it has even been on the 5 quilt list for at least a year. This week, I have at least added the stems to four sides of the quilt. I finished the top for stack and whack leaves. which I thought would take both August and September. I think this older ufo will work for September.

I took some scraps to Friday sew and cut more pieces for crackers and jam. It is easier to precut the sizes than to just dig for a suitable sized scrap. I started making purple blocks.

candy chains 

I made a start with square play. My goal is 30 and I have 24.

I started with 2 1/2 inch purple scraps to make tulip swirl

16 are done

week 5 yellow scraps

We have a 5th week in  August for the rainbow scrap challenge. I was able to work on my monthly ufo. My stack and whack leaves. quilt is a top. I added a small orange border and a larger yellow gold  border. Luckily, I had a Saturday of open sew with my guild.

56 x 64

In other news, While I was checking the leader/ ender challenge, at Quiltville. I went crazy and bought a new pattern called crackers and jam. It is a paper pieced tiny block. I didn't realize it was paper pieced when I bought it. I can use some of the tiniest scraps. So far, I enjoy making the blocks, but, again, I don't know if I have the time, considering I have so many ufos I would like to finish.
