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.
