New year, new logo - and I'm looking forward to participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge again for 2026!
It's always fun to start the new year with a new color and new projects, too. Back in October I decided to make a Jacob's Ladder block just to see how I felt about making them for the 2026 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Sometime in December, I also made one in red. They are such a classic block, and go together quickly.
This week I pulled out some pieces of blue from my stash, and sewed another block!
The background is what I am calling an ecru print (which Mr. Google says is a beige with yellow tones!) and I'm going to try to keep with that background color throughout all these blocks. A friend gave me quite a bit of yardage in the ecru colorway, so I thought I'd try and use it up on this project.
Then I made one in lighter blues -
Ooh, I'm liking this!
The Jacob's Ladder blocks need larger chunks of the prints to make the 4.5 inch sections, so I'm digging into the fat quarter type stash for them. But I also have lots of smaller blue scraps. I've been sorting them into darks and lights and thinking about what can be done with them.
You know I'll figure out something! 😊
