More with orange...

After finishing my orange house for the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL earlier this week, I thought the button print would be fun in a zipper block.


That lead to two more zipper blocks for May's color of the month.


So far there are 15 of these fun blocks for the year!


One small scrappy finish for the week is a new mug rug for my mom for Mother's Day.  This was a leftover block from a Rainbow Neighbourhood house that turned out to be too big.  It works great as a mug rug, though, and Mom really enjoys these little pieces!

This measures 7.5 x 8.5 inches.
