Orange is the June color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. When I started digging into my scraps to see what I had, there wasn't much! There are two fat quarters pulled out of the bundle I won through the Stay at Home Round Robin, but the rest of the pieces are pretty small.
So I stopped by my LQS one day this week, and bought a few fat quarters to add in.
Bright!
That enabled me to sew up eight quarter star blocks in all different shades of orange.
Then it was time to play with all the blocks! So far, I'm arranging all the warm colors around the center, and the cool colors will go around the outside.
52 blocks - shooting for 100!
