Rainbow Scrap Challenge

 

 

The Rainbow Scrap  Challenge colour for August was aqua. I always struggle with colour shades so these are not really blues so must be aqua/teal/turquoise - well anyway I'm happy with the colour. I sorted all the scraps and started cutting and sorting.

I bagged any triangles, cut 1.5", 2", and 2.5" squares and strips. Any fabric that could still be sewn went into the 'other blues' container for scrap (and crumb) sewing/

I completed 3 of the triangle log cabin type blocks.

I also made 4 drink coasters. I had black fabric scraps so backed them with black and I really liked the way it looks, so maybe all future coasters will be backed in black.

I also had another month of Echo Modern Triangle (by Bryan House Quilts) quilt block that I wasn't going to use in my version of Echo. Instead I made one small centrepiece type block with 4" triangles.....

... and another placemat for a round dining table using three 6" blocks.

 

With each placemat I try a different type of quilting design, to suit the piece. This one I used a criss-cross pattern.

 

I think this is the last colour for this year in the RSC. This month, September, the colour is lights and brights blues and greens. The following months are setting the scrap blocks into quilts. So I think I will continue with these scraps  until next year when the new colours come out, or I run out of scraps.
