Another Monkey Wrench At The Finish Line

Monkey Wrench
It's a finish! 
40 x 50

Throughout 2022 and 2023 one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects was Monkey Wrench blocks in three different sizes made with scraps in the color of the month.   This one has purple and lime green ten inch  blocks. 

Purple is this month's RSC color. I'm not going to get any purple blocks made this month because I'm trying to quilt a small quilt every day this month. I'll be making purple and April's color blocks next month to catch up. 

I quilted it on my DSM with horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. 


The backing and binding are also purple and lime green. 

The theme this month in my sewing space is March Madness (Quilting) Marathon.  I'm going to concentrate on finishing up a lot of the small tops I have in the TBQ (to be quilted) pile.  They will then be donated to:




And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

March 8 - A nice gentle rain most of the day. I've been working out in the gardens and I know the soil needed it.

  4. Purple and lime green are a great color combination and they made a pretty finish! I'm so impressed with your goal of quilting one quilt a day this month. I'm just trying to get one top to the quilting stage, and keep putting it off!

  8. I’m loving everyone of your Monkey Wrench quilts but this one has to be my favourite. Love the spring greens and purples - saying “ Here comes Spring” to me.
