Rainbow Scrap Challenge

...but not rose red..........

which is the colour for September.  Although I do try to pop in to RSC to keep up with the colour of the month, and to have a browse around to see what others are making, I haven't joined in since January! when I made blue blocks.

So I made progress on the wonky stars and house I showed in my last post, and here's the final star block ...turqoise/teal

and the completed house block with borders added to bring it up to size.  I had thought I might add some embellishments or embroidered words, but decided at the end that a button door knob would be enough.

I forgot to say in my last post that this block is paper pieced, and I have Bonnie at fishsticksdesigns to thank for the pattern, although her tutorial is for freezer paper  piecing, whereas I just did the stitch and flip method.

So here's all the wonky stars laid out with the house block.  Now to get to and put it all together!  I'm hoping to give it to my friend before she heads off to the country to visit her mum and dad next week, but as I have a deadline on a couple of small charity baby quilts to finish as well, it might end up being a welcome back quilt for her.

 

And because I started these blocks as part of the rainbow scrap challenge.....even though so long ago.....I'm linking to  Angela for a late ScrapHappy Saturday.

till next time......

Scrap Happy on a Monday

I'm a bit late to the scrappy show and tell parties, but better late than never?

I worked last week on an emergency sewing project......more on that in another post....and as the rest of my week was pretty busy, I didn't start on any scrappy blue sewing  until Sunday morning. I did manage to make two more blue churn dashes for RSC 16 .....these are 7 and a half inches.

 The scrappy log cabins had a few more rounds added......

and I started some more ........addictive, these little blocks!

While I was digging through my blue scraps looking for crumbs and strips, I came across a lot of triangles I'd kept from trimming geese and half square triangles, thinking I'd find a use for them one day. Then I remembered a couple of quilts I'd seen on Pinterest, where bright scraps had been pieced on alternate corners, and so my corner scrappy was born.  Background squares are 5" and the corners are various sizes.  

Linking up with Angela for ScrapHappy Saturday and
