Squared Away in Orange

This week I stitched up two blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge Squared Away Sampler.


Each month this year, I've enjoyed making these blocks, chosen by Mari and Angela.  Check here for more info about the Sampler and directions for the blocks. 

This block called for an orange fabric and an accent color, which could be brown.  Not finding any browns in my stash that I wanted to use, I decided to use something different for my accent fabrics.  

I decided I had to include this one in one of the blocks.  These bunnies are my current fabric crush this summer!   


For the second block, I found this pretty gray, white, and bits of orange on the shelf.

See the little snail?  💕💕💕

So now there are sixteen!

Your blocks are so pretty all together. I am slowly falling out of love with my blocks. But I am sure I will keep making the blocks just for fun.

Your Squared Away blocks are lovely, great fabrics, and altogether they are looking great. I need to lay mine all out and have a look (they are just in a pile).

Bunnies and snails, oh my! Sweet! I love the addition of fabrics like that to blocks. Way to go!

Very pretty orange blocks. That orange and gray fabric is really pretty. It's going to be a very fun quilt.
