I managed to do some serious depleting of my aqua and teal colored scraps for the
Rainbow Scrap Challenge this week. I don't have a big collection of blue-green fabrics in my stash, despite several years of stash enhancement for the RSC. That sounds a little backwards, but you gotta have stash in order to make scraps, right?
This week's scrappy block was Windblown Wishes from Diane Knott's
Scrap Quilt Secrets. These are fun blocks to make and I look forward to having a pile of rainbow-colored Wishes at the end of the year!
In other news, I have been assembling my Quilty 365 blocks more rapidly than I thought possible. I started assembling on Monday evening and I'm halfway through already!
I decided to set them in chronological order in sets of 30 - kind of like a calendar page. The RSC color of the month often influenced which fabric got chosen on any given day, although apparently not often enough you'd be able to guess that month's color by looking at my blocks!
My plan is for narrow, neutral sashing between the 30 block sets. Right now I'm auditioning 2 different gray fabrics. The one on the right is a Riley Blake Blender and it's a bit on the taupe-y side. The gray on the left is a Grunge fabric from Moda and definitely reads as more of a true gray. I'm leaning more toward the Riley Blake right now...
