It is handy that the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month for May is orange, because I had decided that my next Little House block would have more orange in it. And I did pretty well with that!
This block is called Kit in the Corner, and goes along with the story from Little Town on the Prairie where the Ingalls family needs a cat to take care of the mouse problem. I also loved the part where Laura got a job helping a seamstress in town sew men's shirts. I remember this book being one of my favorite stories of the series, even as a young girl, reading about Laura wanting to help the family, and especially her sister, Mary.
It didn't take long to add the log cabin borders to this center block. I'm getting more efficient with that as we go along! And only two more blocks to go!
the quilt blocks are all looking great and orange is a good addition to them. I always loved the Little House books and my girls read them too and watched the show.
ReplyDeleteYou picked such a fun color scheme for these blocks. They really are happy blocks.
ReplyDeleteI remember the seamstress episode -- 60 buttonholes in 60 minutes! (Can't do that on my sewing machine.) Your log cabin sampler will be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is coming together nicely, love all the coloring.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks all look so good together, you really picked a pretty combo. I like that text print too. It is my favorite time of the year, which I will be looking forward to as soon as spring is gone!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! Orange and turquoise are so pretty together and the brown is a nice touch as well. Thanks for joining the block parade and Sew & Tell.
