Before August...

Before August rolled in this week, I decided I'd better clean up from July!  Once everything was stitched up or cleared away, I ended up finishing these blocks for pink month in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Five Tiny Tuesdays
Four string blocks (combined to make a big one at 12.5 x 18.5)
Two 10.5 inch blocks made with 2.5 inch squares -
 a color gradient block and a Tiny Rails block
And a crumb block out of all the other bits and pieces!
🎢🎡🎢🎡🎢🎡🎢

Plus, you can see my collection of Bright Hopes blocks - lots of pink in there, too!  I'm making a few of those every now and then.

Earlier in the week, I rearranged all the Tiny Tuesdays into rainbow rows, inspired by Katie's post last week.

That's fun to look at!

I know I won't want a 5 blocks by 10 rows layout in the end, so I'll have to figure out what I do want to do as these next few of months go by, but I like having 5 blocks in each color.  

By that time in the week, the new color for August had been announced, so I decided to be a rebel, and made this week's block in light blue!  Thanks for the tutorial, Angela!


It kind of reminds me of these flowers out in my garden!


Hope you're having a great beginning to your August!  Check out all the other rainbow stitchers at Soscrappy for ScrapHappy Saturday.

  3. I’m still loving your gray grunge borders on your Tiny Tuesday blocks. I haven’t thought about an arrangement yet. I should probably!
    Didn’t get much sewing done this week, our son was here. He helped his Dad a lot and we played tourist a bit. Walked around Devils Tower in SD and visited the Big Horn Mtns in central Wy. There is a favorite place for pie near the top!
    Have a good week.

  4. Wow, your tiny Tuesday blocks are amazing! I was too intimidated to try such small blocks, at least for now. Love the little blue flower.

  6. Yeah, a 5x10 layout wouldn't work so great. But the rainbow order looks soooo good with the Tiny Tuesdays :)

  7. I need to just start those tiny blocks! But I also need to finish my current monthly small blocks, so maybe that's my 2020 monthly to do.

  10. The frames for the tiny Tuesday blocks are a great idea. It just sets them off and of course makes them easier to deal with. Thanks for sharing your pretty flowers.
