RSC23 - Week #20 plenty of orange

The most important orange project from this week is the Frog Quick Strippee quilt that is FINISHED!  Yay!!  It's checked off both my UFO Challenge list and the PHD list from our local quilt shop.
 

 I bought this lime and orange frog print along with the blending print (medium width strips) in Norfolk Nebraska on the way to a family reunion in Kansas last fall.  I cut and sewed the top right away, and then it just hung in the closet with the Gazillion other flimsies waiting to be quilted.  I really really love that orange polka dot that is on the back.  The original plan was to quilt this one myself, but I ended up having it quilted by a friend with a long arm. Hiring it done was a good decision!

Three of these Rainbow Connection blocks were finished this week, and that makes enough blocks for a decent sized quilt - 55" x 66".  This will make another good donation quilt.   

These strings do make a small dent in the scrap bins, and are so quick to make.  So I'm going to keep making the string sections for more blocks, and another quilt will happen eventually.  

One more of the Pineapple Hexie blocks was added to the stack.  Notice the orange!

 

There are 10 of these blocks so far.  But since I have no idea what I want them to become, I guess they'll just continue to happen. 

Last year I made 2 Windmill quilts with RSC blocks but I hadn't been making them this year.  However, these are made with 5" squares, and there were some of them in the scrap bags I've been trying to empty.  Rather than add the 5" squares back into the scraps - I made these blocks.  Do you recognize that polka dot on the bottom block? It was a scrap left from the backing of that Frog quilt.  

I've been looking at my 3-ring binder with saved patterns that I feel are my Go To patterns.  Most are free from somewhere online, and all have to be quick and easy to make.  I plan to add some block pattern to the RSC repertoire, and I'm currently leaning toward something using the strings, or 2.5" or 3.5" or 5" squares already residing in my scrap saver boxes.  There will be more Windmill blocks, but also maybe Boxed Squares, or some other easy one.
