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?

Wonderful blocks! I like how your rainbow scrap Jacob's Ladder quilt is coming along.
Such pretty fabrics you pulled out for these blocks!
Terrific new orange blocks! I also find it so satisfying to see a collection of blocks grow each month with new colors.
Well done, Diann. I’ll be playing catch up again this month. Those two blocks give great contrast to your Jacob’s Ladder project.
Goodness you've been on a one-day roll - lol! Your oranges are so, so pretty, I especially love those batiks. The houses and elephants fabric is so cute! Hope you have a great weekend.
Great fabric choices for your blocks. The JL blocks are looking good.
You picked some good color combos for the Jacob Ladder blocks. Enjoy playing with your orange scraps this week.
you have good orange combinations and they will all work. I always find that I have a lot more orange colors than I realize when I pull the box out.
I'm SEW impressed by what you accomplished in ORANGE this week, Diann!
Arent you clever, great orange blocks. I haven't started on orange yet, hopefully next week. It's not my favourite by any means but it does have its place.
You have some really pretty orange fabrics, Diann. Beautiful blocks.
Great orange blocks! The Jacob's ladder blocks look awesome together!
You are singing my song with your orange combinations. That second Jacob's Ladder is especially stunning. And then there is the layout of the earlier blocks combined with this month. It just keeps getting better and better.
My stash doesn't have much orange. Your blocks look great!
Good for you getting those oranges arranged in blocks just right. They are all beautiful.
I love your Orange blocks. I love the robin print. So cute. Enjoy! ;^)
I think you have done quite well with your orange blocks. Love the orange grundge in the Jacob's Ladder block.
Ohhh I like all your orange. The different blocks are all so fun. your Jacobs ladders are growing so nicely
I am behind in RSC, though I've got one quilt entirely done. I am loving the way your blocks are shaping up.
