Orange is probably the final color for several of my projects. Next month I will start laying some of these out & seeing if I need more of anything. The friendship star blocks were inspired by Deb A. & I love how they turn out. The middle column are 4 resized Cozy Stars from the Pat Sloan QAL called Cozy Things. The tall columns are for the Brickyard quilt inspired by Julie of Me and My Quilts. I have orange blocks for two more RSC projects to finish up during the last few days of September coming up.
Here’s my big accomplishment for the week: I finished up the final week, Week 8, of the Clear Sky Quilt Along with Andy Knowlton of A Bright Corner. I kept up each week & this week I put together the flimsy. Although I did each block with scrappy white backgrounds, I used the same fabric for the sashing. Turns out I didn’t have enough for the borders, so I cut what I had left into sashing size for a stop border & made my own pieced border from leftovers. I used up most of the Lori Holt aqua & brown chunks I used as the basis for the quilt, so that was good, & the rest can go into upcoming scrap quilts.
I love those stars and nine patches that Deb made, too! Your Clear Sky quilt is beautiful!
What a great batch of ORANGE blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and congrats on finishing up the top of your QAL quilt!!
So many beautifully scrappy orange blocks. Especially fun since they were inspired for RSC friends! Clear Sky is lovely too. Very peaceful. Looks to be a good snuggle quilt for this winter!
Pretty orange blocks Sue. Clear Sky quilt top is beautiful and I love the scrappy pieced border.
