RSC 🧡 May

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for May is orange. Today I'm sharing Honey Bouquet baby quilts that feature orange, plus coordinating colors.
My Quilt Info #1:
Pattern: Honey Bouquet from Villa Rosa Designs
Size: 41" x 50"
Batting: Quilters Dream Cotton
Thread: Glide--Apricot Blush
Pantograph: Tear Drop ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos
I do love this modern quilting design--Tear Drop.
I've been piecing some flannel together for backings. These are super kid friendly!
It's a mixure of orange, green and yellow, because orange by itself would be a lot. 
My Quilt Info #2:
Pattern: Honey Bouquet from Villa Rosa Designs
Size: 41" x 50"
Batting: Quilters Dream Cotton
Thread: Glide--Apricot Blush
Pantograph: Skating ⤵️ from Lovely Threads
Here's a close-up of the quilting--Skating. ⤵️
The white background prints with random items are from IKEA when they had regular weight cotton prints. ⤵️
Another pieced flannel back.
Orange binding gives a definite orange vibe.
My Honey Bouquet quilt count for 2026 is at 19. Many have gone to Bundles of Love. Recently, the mission group that my husband & I worked with for 20+ years in Japan has requested 30 baby quilts for Cambodia, so these will be going to Cambodia.

Check out the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday at SuperScrappy.

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  1. Your orange scraps look so pretty! I am particularly fond of that orange-winged bird on quilt #2. I like that skating quilting design.
    Yesterday I started pulling RSC scraps and got enough to start making my nine-patch and snowballs before I realized I was pulling pink and already did those! So I switched to orange - not nearly as pretty. ;)

  2. Always so fun checking out what fabrics you are using in your donation quilts. Love those pieced backs too! I need to find some time to quilt up those I made over the winter, no big hurry tho'.

  3. Wow - 19 of these quilts already!! I just know they are going to be well loved by some little ones. Especially with the flannel backing.

  4. Very nice quilts! The orange makes them bright and happy. I have no doubt the recipients will be very happy to get them. I know you said you get your cute flannel at Hobby Lobby, but my local Hobby Lobby doesn’t have all those cute prints. I probably need to check and see what they sell online,

  7. Those are very happy quilts, Nancy! Such cute prints - like an I Spy. That skating panto is really neat, too - I can just imagine a little one following it around the quilt with their finger!

  8. I love when orange is the RSC color. You made it up beautifully, though I had to smile at your statement "...because orange by itself would be a lot." If you could see the 23'-long orange wall in our living room. It's "a lot." Ha! I too like the modern look of the Teardrop quilting design, and those flannel backings are just yummy. It's so nice of you to make these to send to Cambodia! Wait. Don't I see a halo over your head?

  9. Those will be great snuggles for some families! Big smiles for you as I know you're smiling while your stitching away on these projects. How about making it 20???

  14. The kids will love these fun and cheerful quilts! I love the backings and the quilting of course ;) Your orange fabrics are pretty and interesting, there are so many details to discover! I love the little green leaves swirling against a checkered background ;) Thank you for sharing and linking up!

  15. It isn't easy putting bold prints made with bright colors together in the same quilt. You make it look easy.

  16. These are fun and I like your control of orange...not too much but enough to make it orange. I love that it is going to a mission group that you and Mahlon were affiliated with.

  17. I like your orange quilts. They say orange without overpowering the quilt. Great finishes.

  18. What bright quilts!!! They will be so loved.

  19. Those are bright and happy quilts! The yellow and green does tone down the orange; but, all orange quilts can be fun too. At least, that is what an orange aficionado has demonstrated with her finishes! --TerryK@OnGoingProjects

  20. Orange is such a happy color, but it is overwhelming. Both baby quilts are bold and bright, but not overwhelming. Congrats on two fun finishes.

  21. Your fabric selection for orange works so well in these quilts. So bright and lively.
    Great way to put together some backings as well. We always seem to have spare pieces left that can be used.
    I am using a lot of Christmas pieces at the moment to makes Santa Sacks. It has also been a great way to use up a lot of those prints for younger children that I no longer need.
