I mentioned a couple of posts back that my Rainbow Scrap Challenge for this year was going to be churn dashes after I found the 5 blue ones I made back in 2016! Angela chooses a colour for us to sew each month, and as January's was blue, I was already a little bit ahead of myself.
March's colour is light and bright greens, and I'd looked at my green scraps a few times, but felt very uninspired to do anything with them. I didn't like a lot of them, some were just plain ugly or didn't look right with the other greens, and others are quite dark, and they'll be saved for another month. I didn't have enough of the scraps I liked to do much with. So they all went back in the green bin and I went and did more interesting....and easier ....things.....like clean the pantry!
But I got on with it yesterday and managed to rustle up 2 green blocks. They're not bad. And shh! don't tell Angela, but I used some dark green as well!
These are what I have so far.......the colour for February was purple, and I prepped the pieces for one block, but that was as far as I got....that one's not sewn together. I have quite a bit of limey-yellow greens, so I'll pull them next and see if they give me more inspiration. There's still a week or more left to make some, so perhaps I'll reach my goal of 6 blocks a month. And I think the ugly greens will be turned into crumb blocks!
and Angela for Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
That's all for today, I'm off out to have lunch in a new cafe that's just opened out of town, I've heard they serve delicious home made cakes featuring dragon fruit and davidson plum, ......yum.
......till next time.
