Broken Wheel or Rolling Stone
9 inch finished
Aqua is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge ( RSC) color of the month. I have already used most of my aqua scraps so decided to work on a UFO with blocks of aqua, red, and purple. I set aside small chunks of fabric in those colors in a project box. I started making blocks in 2023 so maybe this month I will be able to finish up blocks I need.
And sew on...

Surprise! Surprise! Yesterday I received a box of scraps from Nann and I received a box of scraps and backing from Ann. Oh joy! I had such fun looking at each piece while sorting. Oh the scrappy comfort quilts I can make!

Yesterday the zinnias were full of Monarch butterflies whirling and dancing. I think there were about 8 of them. I tried to get a pic of several of them in a photo but they were not very cooperative. A few other types of butterflies stopped by to visit too but didn't stay as long as the Monarchs. Oh the joy of gardening!

Stunning phots of the monarchs in the zinnias! I love those rich colors in those blocks.
Today is Zion's Zinnia and Monarch festival -- your photos would be right at home. Rolling Stone is a block that pops up every so often. I've never made it . . . a dangerous thing to write, isn't it? Hmmm.....
Your Rolling Stone blocks are just great, Cathy! I love the one that has the curvy stripes in it. Beautiful zinnia and monarch photos - what a great sight!
Gorgeous flowers and butterflies. I was given scraps and yardage in the summer and I know the feeling of excitement. I've laid it out on my table numerous times and have already pieced 2 tops. Thank goodness for generous people who expand and enhance our stash. :D
Lovely photos! And oh my , those blocks. They have so much movement. What fun!
I've seen some of your Rolling Stone blocks before and they look lovely. Like Nann, I've never made one. That may change. My zinnias have bees and wasps on them; only a few butterflies right now.
I have to get some Zinnias for my garden next year. I have some milk weed but no Monarch yet. Love your blocks. Those colours are stunning together. Purple dots with wavy aqua is my favourite. Enjoy! ;^)
The Wheel and Rolling Stone blocks are intriguing. Yes, there is some aqua included. :) Love how you and the rest of us make up our on RSC rules.
Your butterfly photos are gorgeous! Vivid color and sharp focus. Very nice!
Cute quilt blocks too.
Do you know what the for September will be?
I love, love, love the fabric combo in the top row middle block!! The monarchs butterflies are beautiful and I just read the western population has doubled in size in 2025 (though they report the eastern ones have declined to near record lows).
Those are some gorgeous blocks. I especially like how one of them with the stripes seems to give it the feeling of rolling! Oh the butterflies are gorgeous and I like seeing them enjoy the flowers. I am so thankful to Nann and Ann for sending you those wonderful fabrics. They know that you will make much comfort from them.
Stunning butterfly/zinnia photos - they make my heart sing!
