Starting the week, I had two more Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects that needed light green blocks so they could be finished up for the year. I started with the hand-pieced plus blocks - I had made three of them in our previous green month, so three more were all I needed.
I decided that 49 blocks would make a good layout because these blocks are rectangular, and here they are all together on the design wall.
Next step is to sew these into groups of twos and fours,
so they'll go into a project box for my evening hand stitching time.
The other blocks I worked on were for Masala Box. Just two light green blocks needed to get to 20 total.
I put these blocks up on the design wall next, just putting color groups together. I'm not sure what kind of layout I want for them, but definitely need to spread out the greens and blues a bit!
These should sew up into a top pretty quickly!

Two wonderful scrap projects closer to the finished top stage! I have to finish my light green blocks for my two projects and then see what I need to do to finish them up. I love seeing everyone’s scraps…sometimes gives me scrap envy!
Both scrappy blocks are going to make some fun rainbow scrap quilts. Maybe I'll play along again next year. My scrap bins are definitely overflowing!
Always fun to see your progress on your RSC quilts!
Per my usual, I dropped out of RWC along about April. Seeing your projects makes me wish I had stuck with it. Especially love your Masala Boxes.
Just lovely projects you've made!! I love the Masala blocks--they just sparkle
and I really like how you make the plus blocks into rectangles--makes the finish so pretty. Nice work hugs, Julierose
Marsala and plus blocks looking good!!!
Every time you post about the Masala blocks I want to jump in and make one more and more. I'm going to have to live through yours right now. Keep up the awesome progress.
Two great projects in process! It will be fun to see how you decide to set the Masala Box.
Deciding how to layout the blocks is always a puzzle. For me at least! I am still loving the plus blocks and Marsala is going to be so cute! This time of year I always think about the next year ahead. I’m feeling overwhelmed by the projects started but not complete. I may have an idea how to remedy that. Still in the thinking stage!
Have a good weekend!
I love how both of those blocks use up the smaller size scraps - and look awesome! Can't believe you hand stitch the plus blocks They are so cute!
The Plus blocks are beautiful, wow for making them all by hand, including assembly! I love how the sashing makes them look random in the layout.
The green Masala Box blocks are pretty too, it's going to be a bright quilt. It's fun how they don't look like squares ;)
Thank you for sharing these inspirational blocks, and linking up!
Each time I see your little plus blocks, I'm reminded how much I enjoyed making mine. I love how they dance together! Your Masala blocks are so fun and, you're right, it won't take long to make them into a top!
Your Masala Box blocks are amazing, and are going to make a stunning quilt. I just pulled out the brown and bright one I made last year for myself, and it’s on my lap as I write this (being held in place by Darla). Your plus-sign blocks are delightful, too. You have so many great finishes coming up!!
Love the Masala Box blocks! That;s going to be a great, happy finish. I also like your blooming baskets from last week, though I didn't get a chance to tell you that yet. Some very nice finishes in store very shortly!
Isn't this a wonderful time of year, when the Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts start getting put together? Both of your quilts are amazing and perfectly scrappy.
Two winners, Diann.
Love both, but especially the one you are hand piecing, it is really cool.
Your color projects are just the best! You are so good at picking a block to use each year.
Dont your Plus blocks look wonderful. I've long admired this clever little block so it well may make the list next year for one of my RSC choices.
Looks like you've got lots of greens scraps! Love the plus blocks all together - that is going to be a stunner. I just think the scrappy white print backgrounds are wonderful.
These are two wonderful quilts in the making. Great job! ;^)
I'm still loving the plus blocks, especially together so you can see the effect. A good choice for me for next year!
These RSC projects are so lovely, Diann!
Both projects are lovely! I can't say which of the two is my favorite either! Well done to have completed sewing all these blocks! WOW!!!
Your blocks all look terrific. I haven't touched my light greens yet but soon. (Along with 2 mystery quilts I'm working on this year.)
