blue scraps

My blue drawer hasn't been loved on in a long time. The color drawers we have already had for the rainbow scrap challenge are tidy, except green. I don't know what happened, but I didn't sort through the drawer.

I am glad it is time to sort through blue. I have noticed that even if I have an organizational plan in my color drawers, the minute I need something, it is toss and tumble.

first up for the rainbow scrap challenge and the dark blue month of June, is my flying home blocks. I had enough of each fabric to make 4.

I put the crayons together that I have finished. I am getting ready for blue. But, I was distracted by my swap blocks.

rainbow scrap progress

Orange is such a great color. It can look great hiding among other colors (fall colors ) or jump right out at you. Still, I don't have that much of it in my stash. hmmmmm
I did make 2 flying home blocks.

And, 5 woven checkerboard blocks

and an orange crayon.

Notice the green grass that I can use as a background for photos. I couldn't do that at the beginning of this year's rainbow challenge.

A little bit of aqua

I have been playing in the aqua scraps. I made the flying home blocks in light and dark. I just saw this block called the humility block in an old magazine. I know why... I often get the pieces turned around and have to unpick and resew. And it is an easy block. sigh.. I have made some interesting variations, though. But, no chance, of pride on making this one for me.

I made 4 patches for the someday irish chain quilt.

I am filling the box, probably for next year.

I made the checkerboard 4 patches for woven checkerboard.

 And, I found some florals for florabunda, and, although it is not rainbow quilt, I found them, and cut them while they were there.

time for green

Look who has joined our family. Our new healthy Grandson, Everett Michael. He is a beautiful little guy. Grandpa approved. He has all his fingers and toes and a cute little nose.

Green is the color of the month for the rainbow scrap challenge. I worked on wiggle time blocks in green. I really like making this quilt. It is easy to understand and moves fast with chain piecing. The pattern is available here and other versions are here.

I also made the green flying home blocks this week. But most important was holding a baby.

rsc end of rainbow

I have both red and yellow string pieces made and cut for the end of the rainbow quilt. I have a bad habit of carrying a book around with me and putting it down at some point without even thinking about it. If I have a few minutes, I might grab it to read, or I might carry it to my bedroom for a before bed look, or I might carry it to the cutting table, or the kitchen table, or ....The book with the pattern is hiding right now,

But, not before I have cut all the background pieces. Most of the time, I can just look on the top strata of things and find the missing book. This one is being a bit sneaky.

Maybe this is as far as this one will get for awhile.

I have the blocks for flying home finished in yellow.

I am so inspired by all the quilters in the rainbow scrap challenge. There is only one more Saturday in February, I better get busy and finish up yellow for the month.

rsc flying home

I am making a new rainbow scrap challenge quilt this year called flying home. I had enough of this scrap red to make 5 blocks. But it is all gone now. hooray.

 Each Tuesday, Angela at so scrappy is introducing a Tiny Tuesday block. By the end of the year, we will have enough for a sampler rainbow quilt. The first one was string blocks.

We have actual snow. It started through the night and is still snowing. It is so pretty and quiet.
