This month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color is orange. I'm also making blocks this month in last month's color which was aqua.
I dug into the 2.5 inch scrap bin and made some 8 inch Garlic Knot (aka Arrowhead Puzzle) blocks.
I also made a few six inch Plus blocks from 2.5 inch scraps. I've been making these off and on for a few years if I end up with enough 2.5 inch scraps after making other blocks. I was going to alternate light and dark/bright background but think I might end up with two separate quilts instead. Working titles -- The Power of Positive Thinking, Nix the Negative, On the Plus Side.
With 3.5 inch scraps I made a Sixteen Patch with Star...
...and some Broken Dishes blocks.
With 4.5 inch scraps I made some Half Rectangle Triangles (HRTs).

you have been busy! I love that first pattern that you show - is that Bonnie Hunter's Garlic Knots pattern?
Wow, you sure got a lot of great orange scraps tamed this week! I always love seeing your blocks!
After seeing all this orange and turquoise together, I want to make a quilt in this combination. I love all your block choices!
Again, I ask: Do you ever sleep? I do think you put more fabric pieces together than any quilter I know of! You amaze me, and you always come up with pretty quilts! ---"Love"
SO many fun blocks! I do like the garlic knots and may have to start making those some day.
But my favourite in this collection is the plus blocks. I am making them half the size of yours, and the quilt will be very small at this rate! I think I should upsize to your idea of 6" blocks in order to finish a plus quilt in this lifetime!
I always love seeing your block ideas, Cathy! Those plus blocks are pretty neat, and I like your ideas for naming that quilt!
So many blocks; I think you must be sewing 24 hours a day! The garlic knots look very good together!
SO many different scraps of orange fabric! Great collection of blocks. They’re all super but, as always the Garlic Knots call out to me and the HRTs.
I love those garlic knots and plus blocks. You are making nice progress.
Such amazing productivity in ORANGE and aqua!!
My vote for quilt title is "On the Plus Side". Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com
