Ideas for Orange

Orange is the May color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, so I got out all the orange I could find and started sorting!

I think the cute elephants/trees/houses print will go in my May placemat.
Those robins could make a fun house for the Quilters Cove project.
And look, there's even a tiny 16 patch, all ready to be finished into a gameboard block!

But what about the Jacob's Ladder project?  See the orange Grunge and fall leaves print up in the top right of the above photo?  I thought they might be work together in a block.

Yes!

It was a little more challenging to find two more oranges that would work well together for the second block.  They need to go together, not contrast with each other.  Then I remembered that there are some orange pieces in the fat quarter bundle that I made this year's SAHRR from.  How about this combination?


I think that worked!


Here are all the blocks together - I enjoy seeing the collection grow.


And along the way, the orange gameboard block was sewn up, too!


I'm already having fun with orange - how about you?
