I love color which is probably one of the reasons I enjoy quilting so much and get such pleasure from seeing other people's quilting ideas. Last year I watched several bloggers following
SoScrappy and her Rainbow Scrap Challenge and this year I'm joining in (
RSC14). Every month she selects a color and the challenge is to make something using that color. January 2014 is blue and I'm going to use RSC14 like a BOM so that at the end of the year I've made enough blocks for a quilt.
I've selected the Pig's Tail block from Eleanor Burns' book
El's Kitchen. It's a 12" block made from 2 colors (also called Snail's Trail) and I'll keep the background in nice safe white. I'm going to try to do 2 blocks each month in the designated color. That should create a decent sized rainbow quilt. Here is my first January block.
Chuckling, so glad to see you've joined the fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the block and the colors. I want to do this, but don't need another project. I am thinking maybe I'll do my batik jewel box blocks in this manner.
ReplyDeleteThe block you selected will make a gorgeous quilt in rainbow colors.
ReplyDeleteYeah for RSC14 and this will be a really fun block to use!
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's how I could get a quilt made this year!!
