I've been watching the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for a while now and you know what? I fancy giving it a go this year.
Frankly, I'll never get through the stash if I don't make a start.
It's hosted by So Scrappy and she has been running it for a few years now. Deb A over at VTQuilter has definitely been an inspiration. She has made some fabulous quilts over the years. I found her blog via canuckquilter. Of course, I'm not in their league - they are both amazing quilters.
Back to the RSC Challenge for 2017. . .
Each month a colour is announced and you make one or several blocks in that colour. One block a month will do me and I'm using a pattern called Handy Andy designed by Janelle Noack which was published in Homespun (June 2013).

Lookin good! I haven't seen much from you, so this is wonderful! You guys are almost making me want to join...
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block for the RSC! So pretty in purple!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty quilt pattern. I love your first block; the purple is lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block - you're off and running!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to make the RSC your own!! Choosing a pattern from your stash of books or magazines to sew blocks in a rainbow of colors is good thinking. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThat is very pretty! I think it is a fun challenge, but I'm not going to participate. I have enough going on already. Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful block, showing off the color in contrast with the white. So glad you found us and I hope you will have fun joining in. There's no pressure of deadlines, which is great. One person (like me) makes a few blocks a month and someone else actually makes a few quilts a month. So welcome, it's a fun place.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you again! Your chosen pattern is a pretty one, and your first purple block looks great. I won't be joining in, but I will be watching everyone's progress. Have fun with it! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt! Welcome to the party.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challenge!! Don't you love this time of year, with all the challenges? I'm already decluttering, canning and reading the classics. I should do this one because I have more fabric than I can ever use!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great choice for RSC. I'm going to look forward to seeing your blocks each month. We can keep each other on track!
