The Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

For a lot of Years - Angela over at http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/  has hosted what is know as the

Rainbow Scrap Challenge
aka
the RSC

I joined in 3 years ago and 2 years ago, and really had a great time....
and I am jumping back in this year!




This is the First Rainbow Scrappy Challenge Quilt I made
( free pattern designed by me is here:

Oh what fun it was

The next year I jumped into my 30's Prints
I found this block and Sew Me : Bee Blessed

This was WAY before MSQC came out with theirs!



I made blocks in every color....


And!! I still need to put them together - 
but at least I have some UFO's for this year right???
( you can laugh now - I won't cry)
Here is the link to all of them if you are interested



And now - I am on to 2017
This Month Angela chose Purple!!

This is my first Purple Scrap block!!
Yay!!

This block was designed by Cynthia Brunz
She blogs at:



her original pattern was in a magazine I picked up
Because I LOVED the block

I didn't have quite the same size scraps - so this is out of 2 inch pieces....

Ok
I am out of words!!

Join in - it is lots of fun!
We link up our progress on Saturdays

Check it out!

What a great block for this year. I saw the finished quilt yesterday at the quilting is more fun than housework blog and just loved everything about it. Such a great way to use up the sizes of scraps that always seem to be on hand.

LOVE Cynthia's Gees Migration block!! I wouldn't have the "right" kind of scraps for that one, either. You Heart Blocks were perfect for the RSC and I'm curious to see what will happen with that other block. Enjoy!

I have her Geese Migration pattern and have been seriously considering it as a new RSC project . . . Happy that you are aback for RSC 17!

Ooooh, I love the geese block. That will make a great quilt. The hearts are amazing, too!

I love your little chain block. Why have you not finished that quilt :)

Looking forward to seeing your Geese Migration quilt come to life!

Cathy said...

I love your Geese Migration block and am planning to do one myself!! Cynthia Brunz is one of my faves. Anyway, great plans and welcome back!

Very lovely heart quilt. It does so well in rainbow colors. I'm thinking about Geese Migration also. Good luck this year, glad you are,back!

I've been admiring Geese Migration for a long time, too. Great choice for the RSC!

Missy Shay said...

I love those hearts!

Cathy said...

I had been eyeing Geese Migration too but it never got past my eyeballs. Good for you for moving forward and plowing through your scraps!

Sally Trude said...

Oh, be still my heart. I love your heart quilt...off to check out the pattern...

Kate said...

I remember those hearts. I have that pattern book marked for a future RSC. I'm jealous that you are staring Cynthia's block, that one is also marked for a future RSC project. Good luck with your RSC UFOs. I really need to finish a few of mine before I start anymore!
