Going Green RSC



Soscrappy’s Angela has chosen green for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for the month of August. 
 
For this first Saturday in August I made one more block for my Black and White Crazy quilt.  This is a project which has been sitting on the shelf for quite some time and for some reason I haven’t been motivated with it.  Each block has black on white, and white on black with a touch of colour, perhaps this month I can get a bunch of green done….

I also made a couple of slabs following Cheryl’s quilt ‘The missing U’ found in from CherylArkison and Amanda Jean Nyberg’s Sunday Morning Quilts book.

Be sure to check out my last blog post, as it was my 200th post and there is a Giveaway.

Remember people will see your quilts long after you are gone, not your housework.

RSC - Farwell to Red



I like Angela’s title for the last Saturday of Red for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, so I borrowed it.

This week I worked on a couple of Paint Box Blocks, from Elizabeth Hartman’s quilt along.  I now have eight red and eight of most colours, only a few more to go and I will have the eighty blocks that I need.  After finishing my Paint Boxes I still felt like playing with red scraps so made couple of Slabs – from Cheryl Arkison and Amanda Jean Nyberg’s Sunday MorningQuilts book.  Then just a couple of leaders and enders in red to finish up.

This is blog post number 199, my next post will be a Giveaway to celebrate my 200th blog post.  I have a picture, just need to write a few words.

Wander by Soscrappy and check out all the lovey red blocks and projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

When it rains look for rainbows, when it’s dark look for stars.
