Rainbow Scrap Challenge - no more green

The end of March means we're finished with green for now, until we re-visit it later in the year using our darker greens.  I haven't felt inspired to work with my greens at all, although that might be more to do with me than the actual colour!  I realised too that a lot of my scraps were leftovers from my landscape and art quilting days, when I bought fabrics that could represent trees and mountains and lakes, very good for these tasks, but pretty ugly otherwise. Maybe they'll work better mixed with the darker greens.

I did finish the last churn dash, reaching my goal of 6 for the  month,


I love this 'shades of green square in a square' fabric. This was a fat quarter I used to make a taggy giraffe, and these scraps are the last of it.

Cute, hey?
I'm calling these crumb/slab blocks done, although they're not all the same size.  Did I mention I was sick of green?    



My RSC sum total for March, not too bad when you see them all there together, given my lack of enthusiasm. A lone February catch-up purple churn dash found it's way into the tally as well.


That's it Green, you're back in the box now.  Yellow gold is April's colour and I'll be very glad to pull those yellow scraps.

Go here to see what everyone has done with their green scraps.

I'm out to the garden now to get ready for some neighbours who're coming with their little ones.....and a couple of big ones as well I think.......for an easter egg hunt.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed the rain stays away for a while.

Hope you all have a Happy Easter Day, however you spend it,  and see you next time........

  1. I hope the egg hunt went well, Nanette. No rain here but I believe it will be wet up in the tropics from ex-cyclone Iris. Happy Easter.

    1. Sew nice of you to say so :) I think more the actual fabrics than green itself, and my frame of mind as well.

  3. Happy Easter to you too :-) Hope you're not copping the tail end of the cyclone backlash again. Lots of rain in our immediate future up here. The Husband's sick of green as well, mostly of the 'grass that needs cutting' variety, but it's just too wet and boggy out there to do anything about it. By the time the rain stops we'll probably need a slasher!

    1. We are, but not too badly.... although that could change with more tropical lows forming....heavy showers on and off, the coast is getting it worse, with some beaches closed. I'm with Husband on the grass cutting, mine was done before Easter and could do with doing again. Good staying in and sewing weather.
