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

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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

Thanks to Sara, I realized I forgot the quiltville leader/ender challenge this year. It's called tulip swirl. I made a few in yellow for the month of August. I don't really have room for another block idea. But, I do have smaller 2 1/2 inch strips that I could use and see them disappear.

I made the 9 patch chaining blocks for candy chains. I have purple to go.

I am adding sashing to my stack and whack leaves . I usually will do anything to avoid sashing, ( I find it tedious), but these blocks need something in between them.

I like candy chains in yellow. I still have the 9 patch chaining blocks to do.
My 2 1/2 squares drawer is 60 squares lighter after adding borders to square play
While I was piecing the borders for square play, I grabbed my 2 inch drawer of squares to make 16 patches for square dance.

I was able to start assembly of stack and whack leaves . I started it in 2012. It was on my ''I don't need to finish this '' list. But, I saw the colors in my project box closet, and checked how much it would take to finish it. It was doable. Interesting fabrics younger me picked.
I was tempted to just sew the purple candy chains I had cut, thinking it was going to be a purple month.
Again, I had already cut for purple, but, I really like yellow square play blocks.
While I was cutting rolling windmills, I pulled out shorter pieces for my stashbuster quilt. And, then, I cut a few sets that I pieced.
I even cut for rolling windmills.
