It's a finish!
Buckeye Beauty
60 x 78
In 2020 I started making several different blocks that used 3.5 and 2 inch pieces. I cut those width pieces from a scrap "chunk" in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month and then used those scraps in several different quilt blocks. Buckeye Beauty was one of those blocks.
For these blocks I combined scraps in the RSC color Of the month with shirts from the thrift store or black multicolor scraps or red multicolor scraps. The blocks finish at six inches.
I quilted into it on my sewing machine on the diagonals.
I had a lot of black multicolor pieces in the leftover binding box that I used for the binding.
I have been using a bolt of black and white daisies this month. I think I will be able to use it on the back of four quilts. This is quilt #2.
And sew on...

That is a beauty for sure! I love all the rich colors, and that they are all going the same direction.
wow isn't that a pretty one such nice bright colors
This is so pretty, Cathy! I love how setting the blocks this way gives you those chains. You can't tell where one block starts and the next one ends!
Beautiful!,
I love it! Such a great use of scraps
As always, love your take on a scrap quilt! I love everything about this one: the play on "bright & dark" as the color scheme for the blocks, setting the blocks in one direction teamed with the simple diagonal quilting. I could so see this donated to a charity for teens. Love it and now I want to make one!
That strong diagonal is terrific with these scrappy blocks!
Great work!
What a pretty quilt, Cathy! Love the vibrant colors and pattern. Great use of scraps.
The colors are beautiful in that one! I love the contrast of the rainbow fabrics with the darker backgrounds. Congratulations on getting the quilting done.
I’ve always loved the Buckeye Beauty block and yours is beautiful with all the dark backgrounds.
Terrific quilt and the backing works beautifully.
What a fun one!! I like how you set the blocks with the dark and light
Beauty, indeed! I love it. Colorful, scrappy, yet still unified. Great job.
Oh so pretty!
I love the blocks and the quilting.
Love this! The colors are so pretty!
One of my favorite quilt block designs and scrappy quilts are the best. Love this quilt!
