Scrappy Saturday - Still Orange



Over at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge we are switching from September's orange to October's brown. I had a few orange pumpkin seeds to finish up. 16 seeds were sewn into 4 blocks to add to the collection. I think it's time to give some serious thought to a layout for these blocks.

 My main project for brown month is going to be to machine quilt my brown block sampler from a few years ago. A few blocks each week ought to get it done in a month.

 I also finished 2 orange blocks for my scrappy sprouts project (pattern here).


This is the sprout stalk so far, a total of 6 blocks. It has a long way to grow!

    Finishing up orange sounds like a great way to start the brown month. The sprout blocks are really coming along nicely. A quilt is just around the corner.

    Love those sprout units! I haven't jumped on the pumpkin seed bandwagon, but I really should get a pile prepped for travel.

    So nice to get orange cleared out of the way and get ready for the warmth of brown. Great plans for the month.

    It's fun to see your sprouts growing :) last summer I had a hollyhock grow to a crazy height...I'd watered it with the coffee left in the coffee pot each day. So just do that and yours will grow faster too :)

    I'd say that orange pumpkin seeds are very appropriate for October. : )
    Love those sprouts blocks!

    It's so exciting at this time of the year knowing that all the projects, or nearly all the projects, are going to be ready to sew together. I'm looking forward to seeing all your lovely pumpkin seeds
    together.
