*My favorite rainbow scrap project was making Knot blocks (pattern details here) in the colour of the month.
in lime green scraps. Thanks to my friend Barb for the green scrap infusion which rescued my block! I think it looks nicer in real life than on the computer screen :)
I will find the project box and post the Knots for my last Design Wall Monday posting of 2012. This project will move to my UFO list for 2013.
*I sewed 5 paper pieced Palm Branch blocks this year (pattern is here). It's a fun block to sew but requires longer narrow scraps, so this year I will try to put those scraps aside into the project box as I come across them. This project will continue into 2013.
*Crumb blocks - I added a few crumb blocks to my pile this year. I love this method of using up scraps. There is no cutting required, and it is very relaxing sewing. The crumb blocks will also continue into 2013 until I have enough for a quilt.

What a great post! I love the knots blocks, and the Palm blocks look like something for my "to do" list also. It is fun to look forward to 2013 and set goals -- loved your post. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed watching you make your rainbow Knot Blocks as well as your palm blocks this year. You have some beautiful scraps!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed following your projects for the Rainbow Challenge, Kathy. Can't wait to see what comes next!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of rainbow scraps. I love how the knot blocks look all together. It will be a fun quilt someday. The palm branch blocks looks so striking with the white though, what a great modern quilt it will be someday. As for the crumb blocks, there is just no way to go wrong with those. Anything made with crumbs is "free" in terms of fabric and such a great use of the humblest of pieces. Thanks for joining in throughout the year.

ReplyDeleteThe Knot and Palm blocks have been fun to watch come together. I'm looking foward to seeing what projects you come up with for next year, I'm sure they will be gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun to watch the progress on these blocks through the year. Looking forward to seeing them progress in 2013.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another year of the challenge! I like your blocks..I am continuing one of mine and starting a new one...LOVE the rainbow quilts!
ReplyDeleteOMG -- I copied your knot blocks in 2012 and might have to copy the red herring blocks this year! So very different and fun... now I have to go look for the rest of your rainbow.
