Orange...



… is the colour of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

On Friday evening I facilitated a Finishing School (class) and was able to spend a little time working on Orange Hearts for my Rainbow of Hearts Quilt, I got a good start on them and as you can see there are some hearts in progress.

I was a little concerned about the colour orange, would I have enough scraps, will I be able to do all my Rainbow projects this month?  I think I’m going to be okay, here is what I found.

Please have a look at my March 8 blog post as I am hosting a Giveaway and have also linked to the Quilt Gallery post listing over 200 quilt bloggers who are also hosting giveaways.

This quote kind of reminds me of my stash...

    May I ask where you give classes? I live in Calgary and have so much to learn. Love the little hearts, btw.

      Tina Marie, I teach at Out of Hand in Lakeview. I have two classes coming up one in April (11 & 25) called 'Low Volume - High Impact' and then a Quilt Primer in May (21 eve. and 25 & 26 all day). I also have one 'Finishing School' a month on a Friday evening. I have a Quilt Primer blog post at the beginning of March and Sneak a Peek in January which shows a glimpse of the Low Volume quilt I call Pieceful Rainbow. I'd love to meet up in a future class, I love teaching!

    Love the heart blocks, could I get the the instructions as I'd love to give it a go later on. I also was surprised at how much orange I had in my stash.

      Sandra-Kay, I inherited a few hearts from a friend and I am just copying her block, hers were originally paper-pieced. I've done some measuring and keep adjusting as I go. Do you paper piece? I could photocopy a block and send it to you via e-mail.
