I'm still focused on the color purple for this month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
A horrible picture (it's so hard to photograph dark purple fabrics!) of quarter-square log cabin blocks in purple reproduction fabrics. These blocks are quick and fun to make; I already did the math for the finished quilt, so I'm looking forward to making 5 blocks in each RSC color this year.
In other news, I was finally able to get pictures of a finished RSC quilt.
The Carpenter's Wheel (some call it Carpenter's Star) block had been on my bucket list for years. I decided to use it for a Rainbow Scrap project in 2014. After experimenting with different methods of block construction, I settled on a plan to use HSTs for the blocks - thereby avoiding the dreaded set-in seams.
I made eight blocks in the bright rainbow hues, and finished with a ninth, multi-color block.
As usual, my longarm quilter, Cindy Braiwick, did a fantastic job.
I have gifted many of my RSC quilts - but I think I'll keep this one for myself!
