RSC25 - Week #24

I did plenty of rainbow scrappy sewing this week, primarily in between working on some small projects that needed to be completely finished. It was a good way to catch up with some of the RSC blocks in orange.  But it also looks like I a lot of "ping pong sewing" because I did bounce from block to block all week.  That's part of the fun for me with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge - to have several different block sets growing all at once. 
 


Early in the week I made 1 orange Brighten block and 1 Buckeye Beauty block. These have the same pretty orange batik in both.  Both of these block sets need to continue to grow until there are enough of them for a quilt.  


A second orange Gameboard block was assembled another day.  There are now 2 of each of the 2025 colors, so a total of only 12.  I still do NOT have a plan for these, but something will emerge in time as the blocks continue to accumulate.


Last week I showed a couple of Paint Chip blocks that I made based on a blog post by
 Cathy at Crazy By Design blog.  They used 2.5" squares and I have a whole basket of those.  But I also have several cookie tins full of 1.5" squares, and the light bulb came on.  Mid-week I made a mini version of that block.   


It was a quick process to sort out orange and neutral postage stamps from the cookie tins. There are now 2 orange Mini Paint Chip blocks.   


And while I was sorting colors a few other blocks just happened to be born.  Aren't these little 4.5" blocks just the cutest?  There is the start of an idea floating around in my head of how I might be able to use these.   


With the string triangle blocks I've been combining into sets of 3, and then framing them with a black print.  With the 13 Triple Triangle blocks (6 x 15 approx) this is the layout I'm playing with so far.  I'm toying with putting a yellow sashing with these, or maybe some other bright color.  Or maybe use several colors. 

Let's see what else is going on in the RSC world because there is a LOT of inspiration out there in the RSC blog posts.
