August is the month of light/bright blue... I just happen to have lots of those scraps! I started with some blue miniature arrowhead blocks. They are fun to sew and I made 8 of those this week. These blocks will be 3" in the finished quilt. If you want to try making these blocks, the pattern can be found here and the sizes for the starting squares can be found here.
I had fun playing with the blocks on the design wall and tried a diagonal colour layout. I really like it! It needs a lot of blocks, particularly violet, greens, browns and golds, but it's a good start. To see more Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects, hop over to the weekly link up.

You have the best ideas for Rainbow Scrap Quilts. Love this one too.
Your blocks are so beautiful! I can't believe they are only 3".
The diagonal set works great for these rainbow blocks!!
I love this design. I've just downloaded the pattern; thanks for the link.
These blocks are so beautiful! :-)
This layout looks really good! The colors flow nicely. We all need a little purple in our projects. I hope that's the color for September :)
Just adorable Kathy. I'm having fun imagining a full-sized quilt made of 3" blocks. Thanks for the pattern and size links.
Every time you add a new color, that group of blocks just gets better and better! Love that setting you are showing.
Your Arrowhead blocks look almost done to me! Looks great!
spectacular all together. So strong graphically.
Awesome blocks! The layout is perfect!
Oh, I can't express how badly I want to run to my sewing room and start making these blocks. They are so cute ans so visually pleasing!
Lovely! ;^)
I really enjoy your fabric choices
Very nice! Love it! Lucky you to have so many light/bright blues to choose from!
Your layout looks great! Perfect block for the graduation of color.
What a fun layout. Will be even prettier with some purple in there soon.
Gorgeous! Love this one Kathy!
