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........

Easter swap

I mentioned in another post that I'd joined Julie's Easter Swap, where we had to send gifts starting with the letters of Easter Time.  Sharon  sent to me, and she was very clever and creative with what she sent.  I was so impatient to open all the little parcels that I didn't take a photo, but they were beautifully wrapped.  And what I liked was that Sharon had made the little gift tags with each letter on it, and the cute little duck.  A really nice extra touch.

Sharon sent chocolate eggs, an egg timer, ice cube tray, apron panel for me to make up, serviettes, and ribbon and trims.  Thank you Sharon, I feel very spoilt with all the gifts you sent.  You can go to Sharon's blog http://sharoneujones.blogspot.com.au/ if you'd like to see what she was sent.

Thanks Julie for organising this swap.
