This week I combined the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month (orange) with solids to make my blocks.
A quilt called Dalarna can be found in an issue of Quiltmania (Issue 68, 2008, #4) and was made by Mariet Soethout-Mous. Her quilt was inspired by a child's quilt found in Asa Wettre's book Old Swedish Quilts. Now I've been inspired by Mariet's Dalarna to make my own version of an Old Swedish Quilt.
I'm calling these Dalarna blocks. They finish at six inches.

So many pretty blocks this week. Still loving the overlapped nine patches.
These are all such nifty scrap busting blocks! Love the overlapping 9-patch in particular.
Your scrappy work always makes me sew happy! Wonderful line up today!
Fun blocks and fabrics! I love the television set print. I'll enjoy seeing what you do with the Dalama blocks - it looks like they will have lots of layout possibilities!
SEW many interesting ORANGE bits, Cathy!
