2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge has begun

 Whoo Hoo its a New Year!!! 

I have finally chosen a Block for this Months Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!

Are you ready?


Ta Da!! Little Blue Chunky Churndashes!! ( Free pattern on Quiltville.com) 

I spent a few moments looking thru my scraps hoping that a Block would come to me!

As I had used fabric this past two years - I cut the leftovers into 5 inch squares, 3 1/2 inch squares and 2 1/2 inch squares. Looking at the 2 1/2 inch square pan ( yes ! I used an old cookie tray to stack them on) I could see that one swift tail wag of a dog - and we would have a mess... 

I remembered how much fun I had making these little blocks a million years ago - and thought it was time again! And when Bonnie allowed me to write it as a Mystery Stitch Along in 2009!!! Wowzers!!! 

Wasn't that a blast from the past ...

now - here is the question? What is the Over/Under on how many of these blocks will be made in January? and!! Will it use up my 2 1/2 inch square pile????

Jelly Roll Plus and Finished! ( or not) Friday!

 Welcome to the FIRST Finished ( or not) FRIDAY of the year!! Go us!!

I took over in 2019 and boy howdy have we seen some awesome Finishes!! Hopefully you keep being inspired to finish - or not finish something each week. I know that my bucket list has grown from checking all your blogs out!!

My First Finish - is the Quilting on this Jelly Roll Plus Rails quilt. It was made by Connie at our September Sew day. My goal was to get all 19 that we made quilted by Sept 2026... I think I am on a roll to do that..







As you can see - I forgot to trim it before its photo  - but the girls were ready to go fetch, and their patience was wearing thin - so I had to make the best use of  my time....


Isn't it a fun one tho! Also - By Posting it - it reminds me that I need to update my Free Pattern page...

and did you know - it has been 5 years since the last Happy  Half Square block was posted? That went quickly too - I wonder if I could make a new block project. Maybe it will come to me in my sleep!

Alright - it is now your turn!!



PLEASE LINK UP YOUR DIRECT BLOG POST - yep - I am emphasizing haha!! If you don't do the direct link - it leads to your blog and you may have posted 2-3 times before I get there... and then I get sad.

it would also be nice if you didn't link up other linkies - just a post about you ;-)
