RSC Dark October Colours



Friday evening was spent in sewing black, grey and brown (I prefer chocolate) blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  I have a little book where I keep track of quilts in progress to see what I needed to finish up some of my rainbow projects.
 
For my Scrappy Trip Along I needed two more chocolate blocks, so took a look through my precut 2 ½ inch strips from previous evenings of scrap management and made a couple of blocks.  Now I just need to make three more yellow and six turquoise and the Scrappy Trip Along blocks with be finished and make a very large quilt.

My Rainbow of Hearts quilt needed two more black and grey blocks, so I found some lovely little bits of these colours in my scraps.  Just two more royal blue blocks needed to finish this project and decide on a layout for this quilt.

As a somewhat mindless way to just sew and finish the evening I worked on a couple of grey slabs, my slabs are the beginning of another Rainbow quilt project.

Rainbow projects still in progress to be continued into next year:
Wonky Churn Dash – Well begun
Rainbow Mile a Minute – I’m sewing the top together
Paint Box – Need 11 more blocks in various colours
Black and White Crazy Patch (with a dash of colour) – just a couple more blocks to go

Could that really be all?  Maybe I’m closer than I think!

Check out soscrappy’s Rainbow Scrap Challenge to be inspired by other Rainbow quilt ideas.

  7. No matter if you call them slabs, crumbs or made fabric...I really like making and using up scraps that way.
