A long time ago when I first found the Rainbow ScrapChallenge and the colour of the month was neutrals, I felt stumped, how could I
do neutral, how would this fit into my Rainbow quilt? So I made nine neutral blocks with a touch of
the rainbow in each block, and all this time they sat on the shelf, I wasn’t
sure what to make with these nine little (7 ½ inch) blocks.
Then this month when Angela announced that we were doing
neutral, I pulled them out and the creative juices started to flow. I have so many neutral scraps, so for this
month I’ll probably just keep making low-volume Mile a Minute squares, and I
just might end up with enough for a whole quilt. Wouldn’t that be great? I think I might continue to add the
occasional colour, perhaps pastels to some of the blocks.
So here are the blocks I finished last night.
If you are interested in the Mile a Minute technique I have
a tutorial which starts here, and goes on for six weeks (six blog posts), caution, it's addictive.
That punch of colour in each neutral block is so much fun. Should be a stunning quilt.
ReplyDeleteLOVE those LIGHT NEUTRAL blocks with the random bits of bright colors sewn in!! Such a fast, fun technique to create scrap quilts.
