I have not had many active Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects this year. I finished a few RSC projects from previous years, and made lots of leader-ender blocks. I also started making 25-patch star blocks part-way through the year, and added to that collection as the year went on.
I've been trying to use print fabrics for the 25-patch star blocks. Here are the results from October's RSC color, yellow.
And since I'm trying to knock out as many blocks as possible before the end of the year, I went back and made some aqua/teal blocks as well.
I now have all the rainbow colors completed for this project, so next I'll go digging through the black and brown scraps for some useful prints. I currently have 32 blocks made and would like at least 48 blocks before I start assembling.
I've also been making Bonnie Hunter's latest leader-ender block, Easy Breezy. I try to keep a stack of leader-ender parts stacked up near the sewing machine, but I've run out and need to replenish my supply. I'll keep making these through next year, as I don't have nearly enough for a quilt yet.
I leave you with this amazing map from the National Hurricane Center.
It seems like I've talked about hurricane warnings in every post this summer. Turns out I wasn't far from wrong! The map illustrates the number of days spent in the dreaded "Cone of Uncertainty" for tropical weather predictions. This year is definitely one for the record books!
