Orange is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for the month of April, and I'm just starting to get the scraps pressed and organized. Almost all of my projects need orange blocks added, so I have lofty goals for this month.
Flummery, horripilation, scrimshanker... don't you love these words!
Try saying them out loud. It's fun!
They are real words. Of course I looked them up!
And one more photo for the rainbow scrappers....
This week I unearthed this old mini quilt that I made in 2003, way before the days of blogging and the RSC. It shows how much I have always enjoyed sewing together brightly coloured scraps.
To see what the rainbow scrappers are up to this week, hop over to SoScrappy.

That's a beautiful quilt. I always think that bright colours have a longer lifetime than fabrics "a la mode". I'm just digging up my orange scraps, too.
What a great mini quilt! Looks like you have plenty of ingredients ready for lots of great orange blocks this month.
Scrimshanker sounds quite derogatory lol I can imagine me saying that to some smart ass if he hacks me off!
that little mini is so beautiful, jewel like, well worth resurecting or donating to someone like me lol
I love orange! Gorgeous mini quilt too!
love it all! the mini is great- we never stray far from our roots, do we? and that ORANGE text fabric is fabulous! wee bit jealous....
LOL. LOVE the thesaurus fabric. I do have a bit of a katzenjammer this morning. A few glasses of water should fix this. Your little mini is just so beautiful and cheerful. I'll make some placemats like that to cheer up some elderly people. They'll love that I am sure. Thanks for the inspiration. Happy orange month! ;^)
Those are "I'm awake now" oranges.
love that colorful mini - now that you are getting into rainbows more you could use that pattern to make a larger quilt.
Your orange fabric is fabulous!
I love the intense saturation of color in your mini and I look forward to see what you make from your nest of orange scraps.
Love the thesaurus fabric. Now I know I'm not using the words properly but "I love the ragmatical efflorescence in you luminiferous rainbow mini." I think those were some of the words on the fabric.
Love all your orange scraps! Beautiful, colorful mini. I love our RSC Saturday morning linkups.
color! drives us

Such pretty color and fun fabric! I love the word fabric especially- what a fun find!
Nice to see such bright fabrics. Love your mini!
The word fabric is great!
Your colors are certainly ragmatical and give a whiskerando feel to the orange.
Your mini is wonderful! thanks for sharing it!
Hey, I love that orange Andover fabric, too! It’s splendiferous! And your mini is so cute, it could be the RSC mascot mini!
Oooh, love that mini! Have fun stitching with your orange's this week.
Great "wordy" fabric - what fun you'll have using that! Your mini quilt is wonderful!
Wow! You have a lot of great orange scraps. I dont have much ornage at all. Thanks for sharing your mini quilt. It looks very happy!
Very fun words on that fabric. : )
Oh, I love the mini. Who doesn't love a rainbow?
You have always something fantastic to show. Look at that mini!!!
beautiful oranges to work during April.
Love the mini quilt and what a lovely orange stash!
You have some lovely oranges: the word fabric is fantastic!
Someone already said everything I want to say, so "Yeah, all of the above!"
great block, I was busy this weekend and finished my blocks- well as much as I could, since I didn't have that much orange, now on to an embroidered purse pincushion that turid and I challenged each other to make each month (a pincushion with the rsc16 color)
