🌈RSC Green🌲

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for May was Sage and Forest Green!!! Here are my  blocks:
I'm making blocks from the pattern, Scrap Happy Rainbow Connection, by Amy Smart. The pattern originally came out in Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, Issue 85:
My blocks are 12" unfinished, 11 1/2" finished! A lot of my Japanese vintage reproduction prints are sage or pine green, so you'll notice a number of Japanese motifs.⤵️
I have a bolt of creamy white Grunge that I bought at half price as part of my quilt shop anniversary purchase that I'm using for background.
Normally I'm working through my scrap strip basket, but I didn't find much of this colorway there, so I went to another scrap bin I haven't touched much recently. Wellllllllll, I ended up with 32 blocks!?! Here's my count so far this year:

January:             Red                             9 blocks
February:           Teal/Aqua                  21 blocks
March:               Yellow/Gold               16 blocks
April:                  Pink                           18 blocks
May:                  Sage/Forest Green    32 blocks
Total so far:                                          96 blocks

Not the final layout!!! ⤵️ These will make several quilts. Check back at the end of the year to see how I mix them up!!!
We're already into the next month, June, which has been declared the RSC month of Dark & Bright Blue! I should have many Japanese indigo scraps for June!

Check out all the Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks and quilts at Scrap Happy Saturday! You might find some block inspiration to use for your own scraps!!!
And come back here on Sunday, June 5th, for my next "National Day" Quilt, National Hot Air Balloon Day!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  1. You have made a lot of blocks. I think my strategy will be to pick up in July and go from there. It will be fun to see how many blocks and quilts you end up with for the year.

  5. Wow, that's a lot of blocks! And all from scraps, too. Great pattern choice. Since we're only halfway through, I'd guess you'll get 4 or 5 quilts by the end of the year.

  6. You really had fun with green, and the blocks are lovely. I'm curious if you will make one quilt at the end of the year, or several!

  9. 96 blocks, wow! I liked the block done in one colour, but when all the colours are mixed, it turns the design into something sensational!

  10. Your blocks are stunning and the quilt is sure to be a beauty! Lovely rainbow of color!

  11. I love your blocks and the fact that you’re just making quantities as fabrics dictate, with quilt assembly later on to be determined. Great minds… LOL. You certainly have lovely and varied scraps!

  12. You've got some really great prints in those blocks, Nancy. Can't wait to see the indigo you have for BLUE month!!

  13. What a nice block design to make from scrap fabrics! It's great to see your progress through the year, and I'm sure your scrap containers are showing signs of reductions. I could make green blocks just fine, but I'd be in trouble with this month's dark/bright blue color. Blue, red, and purple are least evident in my stash, let alone my scraps. Isn't it interesting how we each choose and use colors? Enjoy making June blocks!

  15. That is a lot of blocks, Nancy. At this rate, I am sure you will have enough for two queen size quilts. It is terrific that you got such a lovely background fabric bolt at a great discount. Win Win Win!!!
