Wonky Windmills
8 inch finished
I've found the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) to be a fun way to use up scraps over the years. It's always fun to hear what color scraps to work with each month and then go see what scraps I have in those colors. Then I make blocks. Usually I have a block or two going for each size scrap I encounter. Sometimes I make a block for a couple of years and most of the time the blocks end up in quilts for donation.
This month's color is yellow. Last month's color was purple. Since I spent most of March finishing up 31 donation quilts I didn't get all of my purple blocks made so worked on them this month too. Also, when I process scraps I might leave a little pile of a certain size scrap by my cutting mat to be made into blocks when I make my RSC blocks. So this week is a catch all of RSC blocks in mostly yellow but a few other colors too.

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
April 24 - Beautiful weather! New things sprouting up and blooming in the gardens every day.
April 25 - Beautiful weather! Finally finished clearing out all the wild elderberry and honeysuckle in a patch near the house.
April 26 - First time in about ten days I did not experience severe arthritis pain in my foot.
So many fun blocks and I have some of your fabrics, too! :)
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful blocks in the making, Cathy--great thinking for future quilts...I love the windmills and their wonky version too. Hugs for a fun weekend [glad your foot is better] Julierose
ReplyDeleteHello yellow! You find fun ways to use all kinds of scraps, rainbow challenge or not.
ReplyDeleteCelebrate - so many pretty blocks! I'm like you and have several sets of blocks going every year.
ReplyDeleteYou did get caught up on a lot of blocks! The wonky windmills are so happy. I have made non wonky versions, but yours are just more whimsical.
ReplyDeleteFun to see all the different blocks you use your scraps in, Cathy! I like those wonky windmills, especially. Are they made with a special ruler?
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the first picture, I thot "go make some lemonade and take a ride on a tractor' lol. With so many diff blocks, there are lots of stories. Cool
ReplyDeleteA wonderful parade of blocks. I've enjoyed every single picture. So many cheerful, amusing or interesting prints to look at. Yay for a pain-free foot. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYou have done so well to stitch all these lovely blocks after your quilting marathon.
ReplyDeleteLots of pretty blocks, Cathy! Well done!
