My RSC17 (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) is actually a continuation of my RSC16 blocks - 15" Crown of Thorns blocks. My original plan was to make a large quilt, but then I decided to make 2 baby quilts instead. There were 8 dark/bright blocks and 6 lighter more pastel blocks already made. I added a purple one for January and put together a flimsy using the brighter blocks.
So now I've added a sea green/aqua block for February, along with a light lime green and a soft rose block. Over the weekend I'm hoping to get the pastel flimsy put together too so that next week I can find backing and binding for both quilts. They will be gifts for twin baby girls due late spring. The mom is a dear friend of one of my own girls.
Now I can figure out what I want to keep making to follow along with the RSC17 for the rest of the year - because I like the idea of playing with my stash, one color at a time, with no huge project hanging over my head.

Very pretty blocks. Those will be fun baby quilts. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do for the rest of RSC 17.
The baby quilts are going to be lovely and a good use for the monthly blocks.
Great blocks. Twins! How exciting!
BTW. A LOT of my big quilt plans turn into baby quilts : )
I like hearing trad names for blocks. Now, if I were naming this today, I see it as a drop of water in a pond, radiating out... anyway they are pretty and will make a grand baby quilt. LeeAnna
I'm with LeeAnna; I made a quilt of these blocks for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. It was called English Wedding Ring, and I do prefer that name! My mum is English ;-) I love your colours.
Those are so pretty in the colors you've chosen! You've said exactly what I like about the Rainbow Scrap Challenge - it's so fun to play with fabric but have no big project hanging over your head!
A very smart idea getting two done at once. Have fun with the rest of your stash.
Such pretty blocks. Lucky babies!!
Nice blocks!
These blocks are fabulous. I really like that aqua fabric you used with the polka dots!
I love those blocks, how sweet.
I love this block. I found a small pile of them this week going through bins of projects. I think they will become a baby quilt as well. Happy sewing.
