Rainbow Scrap Challenge

The teal 4-patch blocks were sewn before I left for Arizona.



I paired these blocks with January's purple blocks and played with the layouts.


First the blocks are place in straight rows but vertically.


Second layout - I don't know what you call this, maybe mini barn raising?


And the final design - Barn Raising.

I like them all.
The Star Dance blocks were pieced this week, 8 of them. Aren't they cute? They will finish at 4".

Lovely blocks; they look fun together, whichever way you lay them.

Lots of pretty blocks. I love the star dance blocks. I think I need to make some since star blocks are my favorites.

I like the Barn Raising design. It looks really bright with the white

Karen - Quilts...etc. said...

yes it does look like a barn raising design from log cabins. I really like it - it really creates interest

Don't you just love blocks that you can play with? 8)
I love those stars, too! Especially at that size - I'm always a sucker for small blocks.

You've got a lovely barn raising done in just two months, good going! The stars are coming along nicely also.

The purple and teal go together very well. Good idea.

Wonderful blocks. Decisions, decisions as it comes time to lay out the blocks.

Kathy's A Quilter said...

All of these blocks are so refreshing. Hard to make the decision on the favourite layout, but maybe you are not finished!

Deb A said...

Very pretty. So fun to play with the blocks and see the different layouts you can come up with.

Love that barn raising setting, but they are all good. You've finished so many - congrats!

Cathy said...

It's always fun to make a block with so many layout options.
I'm glad you told me the size of your Star Dance blocks. I didn't realize they are so small. They are cute...I love small blocks.

Love the 4-patches. Have a great weekend.

Gretchen Weaver said...

No, I have a lot more blocks to make. The 4-patch blocks finish at 8". I'm making a king size quilt. I need to figure up how many I need for a barn raising set.

QuiltMusings said...

Very beautiful, and I love the combination of blue and purple. I am always a fan of barn raising layouts, and it looks fantastic in this case.

Angie said...

Love seeing what you are doing with your 4 patch variation blocks - inspiring!

Chantal said...

Love your projects. Love the last barn raising layout. Purple and aqua are so nice together. Cute stars too. ;^)

Your rainbow scrap blocks are looking so good, but those stars are my favourites!

Alycia~Quiltygirl said...

I like them all too - but I like your final the best!!!

Gretchen Weaver said...

I like the barn raising lay out the best too. I guess I need to do the math and figure out how many blocks I'll need to make a king sized quilt.

I like the barn raising also. But those stars are beautiful. I am now in default on RSC2017!
Oh well. Love all of your projects
