For this year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I'll continue making scrappy 6" pineapple blocks each month with the hope that I can have enough blocks by the end of the year to make a decently sized quilt. I took a month off in December, but I'm looking forward to getting back to these blocks in the new year.
I'm also determined to make a quilt featuring a variety of house blocks. I have several patterns and books to choose from and a whole lot of scraps. The first block of the year is called Brick House and I found it on the Fat Quarter Shop's website. I don't know what the RSC color for January will be yet, but I thought I'd make one in green to see if I like the pattern. And I do! It measures 12" x 13".
I'll use a variety of backgrounds and try to make this a stash buster. I will probably vary the orientation of the houses now and then to keep it interesting.
I also started working on Bonnie Hunter's Unity medallion quilt yesterday. It's going to be a section a month sew along with some members of my local guild. I have changed the colors a little, removing red and adding a bright yellow to navy blue and light blue. Hoping to bust a little more stash with this one. Feeling energized!
