Rainbow Scrap Challenge and Zooming Along

After falling behind with my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks while we were away, I am now all caught up.  I had my half square triangles completed last week. Now I have my 30s print butterflies and nine patches all done, including a couple extra to make up numbers for the little quilt I am making.

Orange was for August.

Light blue for September.  As there isn’t a great deal of variety of blues in 30s prints, I didn’t do many, as I already have aqua and darker (but not very dark) blue.

October was lime green.  Well, that doesn’t exist and I have already made some green blocks, so this was completely skipped.

To make up the extras, I made a couple of butterflies with two colours and after laying out the blocks on the design floor, decided that another yellow and mauve block would work fine.

So, here it is all laid out.  I can’t stitch them together just yet, as I still have to embroider the antennae on the butterflies, but I consider the RSC section completed for the month.

The Chookshed Stitchers had another Zoom get together yesterday and I actually remembered to take a photo of us.  There was usually about twelve on line at any time, with about thirty joining in during the day.  I had to disappear for most of the afternoon, but enjoyed playing along in the morning and late afternoon.

It’s rather a relaxing way to spend the day…..for all of our household.

The best thing is that I completed ten EPP units for the Blue Quilt.  Much more than I expected to have this month.  I already had made six units in October, so only two more of this unit to go.  Surely, I can get them stitched by the end of the month.  I must say that I am making quicker progress on this quilt than I expected and am really enjoying picking up my little box of tricks and stitching a block or two.

Now that the RSC blocks are completed I can pull out my churn dash blocks and get the top put together, as it is my One Project a Month goal and time is running out.  There’s nothing like a deadline (even if self imposed) to get you stitching.
