๐ŸŒˆ RSC Light Blue ๐Ÿ’ 

September's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color is light blue!!! Angela at SuperScrappy posts the color every month.
The pattern I'm using this year is "Scrap Happy Rainbow Connection", by Amy Smart, available on her website or from Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine, Issue 85, where I first spotted it. ⤵️
Here are some of the 13 blocks I made this month:

My RSC block count for 2022:

January:        Red                             9 blocks
February:      Aqua/Teal                  21 blocks
March:          Yellow/Gold               16 blocks
April:             Pink                           18 blocks
May:             Sage/Forest Green    32 blocks
June:            Bright/Dark Blue        24 blocks
July:             Purple                        31 blocks
August:        Orange                      16 blocks
September:  Light Blue                  13 blocks
Total so far:                                  180 blocks

I'm going for enough blocks to make 4 throw size quilts by the end of the year, which is 192 blocks. Just one more color month to go, October, which looks like it will be light green by default! November and December are for assembly and quilting.

You'll find a lot of rainbow quilt inspiration at the Scrap Happy Saturday link party!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  1. What "only" 13! Well, otherwise you wouldn't have blocks left to make for October ;)) And I am looking forward to you puzzeling the four quilt designs together. I think I was already excited in February - so only one more month to wait sounds a lot nearer. xo

  8. These are going to make some gorgeous quilts. Hum, I wonder if light green will be the color next month. I' think I have 27 blocks done now so should end up at 30 blocks. I wonder how I will set them...

  13. I always love seeing these blocks each month, Nancy - they're going to make some beautiful quilts! Do you have a technique for getting them to sew up squarely in the correct size? I made these same blocks recently and every single one of them was off by 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch. It happened when I added the triangle corners. Maybe I should have oversized them a bit?

  14. Lovely new blocks! I love that you allow us to have a closer look at your wonderful fabrics. Some remind me of china, some are pretty Japanese fabrics, and I love these cute musician cats ;)
    Thank you so much for sharing, and linking up today!

  15. Your light blue blocks are really pretty! Such a nice range of colors, prints, and values. Funnily, I recognized an old Fossil Fern print among them. Remember when those first came out? Musta been in the early 2000s. I admire you for continuing to make blocks for this scrap challenge. Your finished quilt(s) are gonna be a knock-out!
