The Rainbow Scrap challenge for August is to use neutral or low volume scraps in our projects. Not all of my RSC projects will benefit from an injection of neutral scraps, but I think I can still find enough design opportunities for the month!
I have a decent collection of 2 inch strips that can become 4-Patch blocks and Pinwheel blocks. If I use up all these strips, I still have more neutral fabric chunks that can be cut up and used up.
There's also a good-sized stash of neutral selvages that can be turned into Rail Fence blocks.
And then there's the stack of components that need to be assembled into 9-patch blocks for the Summer Star Scrappy Sew Along.
I think there will be plenty of stitching inspiration for the month! For more inspiration, check out the RSC link-up today at Angela's Soscrappy blog.
Looks like you'll be humming right along in neutral. Enjoy the ride.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely selection to work with for the RSC this month hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely neutrals, and a bunch of good ideas for them. So pretty to look at.
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty neutrals! And lots of great ways to use them.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are DEFINITELY set for August sewing with all of those LIGHT NEUTRALS, so go SEW!! :o))
ReplyDeleteI love a good neutral fabric. Looks like you're in the groove for this month!
ReplyDeleteRail fence blocks are the Fall Basic TOBE blocks for Treadle On. You could make some for the exchange. Neutral string blocks are good, too. I just saw a quilt, using neutral strings, with a pop of red, for some of the corners. Great quilt (she sent me the pattern, too).
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of useful bits and pieces to use up this month! I'll enjoy seeing how you put them to work!
ReplyDeleteYou have such wonderful neutral fabrics! It's nice to use up all the little bits and pieces.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects to keep you busy this month! As always, I love to check out your progress. You'd think I was a cat (instead of a Cat).
ReplyDeleteIt sit seems like you were prepared for this month all along.
ReplyDeleteYou jumped right into this month's color scheme.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great neutrals! I think they are underappreciated in general. They really can add a lot of dimension to a quilt. And look at all of your sections ready to sew! You've been busy as usual. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look good in your lovely variety of neutrals!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to come up with something for this month, but since I use scrappy neutrals in all my RSC blocks anyway, I can't think of anything special...
You have some great neutrals to play with!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with using all your neutral stash and scraps. Have fun with them.
