Rainbow Scrap Saturday

I have been looking forward to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge update all week!  I just finished browsing through this week's entries and I loved seeing all the creativity.






Last week I finished three 16-patch blocks using red scraps.


My plan is to add hourglass (quarter square triangle) blocks in between the 16-patch blocks to add some additional color and movement to the quilt.








This week I made one more scrappy red 16-patch and cut some quarter square triangles so I could play with the hourglass blocks.
I tried using all reds for the QSTs, but it just didn't "pop" like the white.  


I can't wait for next month's color assignment so I can continue playing with my scraps!
