August color is orange. I decided to see what I could create with my orange scraps. I made this quilt top using a <a href="http://www.villarosadesigns.com/shop/ROSECARDS/Running-Doe/p/SCALLYWAG-42x42-x26911580.htm">Villa Rosa Design called Scallywag.</a><br />

This year I decided I wanted it to be a scrappy challenge for me. Temecula Quilt Company was having a <a href="http://temeculaquiltco.blogspot.com/2017/12/scrappy-snowball-sew-along.html">Scrappy Snowball Sew Along</a> that was going to be perfect for this challenge. I didn’t get my quilt finished in the three months of the sew along but it is finished in time for my H2H quilt.<br />

Again this year Angela is hosting <a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/2017/01/scraphappy-saturday_28.html">Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017</a>. Purple is the rainbow color for January. This challenge is very inspiring seeing all the rainbow projects everyone is making with their scraps. I have two different blocks I plan to make each month. I am sure there will be other rainbow blocks as the year goes on.<br />
The first block I am making is orange peels.<br />

So I haven't had much time for sewing rainbow blocks or any other blocks. I needed to finish a rainbow quilt. These stars are made from my 1.5" squares that I sewed into patch blocks. I had some string blocks that I added to this rainbow quilt.<br />

As I was making green string blocks I found two long forgotten projects. I found some string blocks that had a green center strings. I made more blocks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other find was green and white rail fence blocks. I finished making rail fence blocks until the white fabric was gone. I added a border so it would larger. Pretty little baby quilt.</div>

Debbie at <a href="http://shadowsoftheblueridge.blogspot.com/2016/05/quiltmakers-100-blocks-magazine-drawing.html">Shadow of the Blue Ridge</a> drew my name. Woohoo! Of course Debbie's block Flowers For the Cabin just had to be the first block I would make. There are lots of little pieces in this block but it was so worth the time to make. I love that it is a log cabin block of flowers and basket. Since this month's rainbow color is green I decide I would make a green block.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am considering making more rainbow Flower For the Cabin blocks.</div>
<br />
I also gave this Carpenter Star quilt to a friend. Today her son would have graduated from high school but four years ago he passed away from cancer. I thought she could use a quilty hug.<br />

As you know I love to make <a href="http://www.beadsofcourage.org/">Beads of Courage</a> bags. Since March I have made 44 bags. I have another 11 bags that I need to finish. I had a couple of special requests for certain fabrics. Hopefully all these bags will bring smiles to children.<br />

The first one is her annual <a href="http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2016/03/hands2help-tips-tutes-and-tasty-things.html">Hands 2 Help charity challenge</a>. Every year many quilts are made and given to wonderful charities. You can even win prizes just for participating. It is not to late to join so I hope you will consider joining. The other project Sarah is hosting is<a href="http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2016/03/i-may-have-scrap-problem-but-at-least.html"> I May Have A Scrap Problem.</a> I know I have lots of scraps and every year I participate in H2H charity challenge. This year I am combine the two projects. I found a scrap pattern called <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/other/free-quilt-pattern-scrappiness-squared/123799">Scrap Happiness Squared</a> by Linda Lehn. <br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">This scrappy quilt used 108 - 4.5" squares and 540 - 2.5" squares but I still have lots of scraps.</span></blockquote>

I thought you would like an update on my 1.5" squares project.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used some of the 16 patch blocks in this quilt top. It does feel good that these little squares have become a pretty quilt. I still have many 16 patch blocks. I keep looking for another pattern to use them.</div>

<a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/2016/03/scraphappy-saturday-now-in-shades-of.html">Angela at soscrappy</a> has announced purple for the March rainbow scrap color. As you know I am sewing my 1.5" squares into 16 patch blocks. This project is getting closer to being completed into 16 patch blocks. I only have 12 more patch blocks to sew. Woohoo! </div>

I made a baby quilt. I used fleece for the backing. I sewed the top and backing right sides together and then turned them inside out. It is a quick way to have a completed quilt. I am making another one using the same pattern and it will be one of my purples for March.</div>

The basket looked like this when I decided to conquer the squares.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pQTAJdJu4-Q/Vok87k5cmLI/AAAAAAAACcs/cGH1lxIegaQ/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pQTAJdJu4-Q/Vok87k5cmLI/AAAAAAAACcs/cGH1lxIegaQ/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now the basket looks like this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xTBTKB0cKGc/VrUtMv6XQ3I/AAAAAAAACgQ/Nx_ETLLSgKQ/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xTBTKB0cKGc/VrUtMv6XQ3I/AAAAAAAACgQ/Nx_ETLLSgKQ/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now before you get too excited no I haven't sewn all the little squares and I didn't throw the squares in the trash. I have clipped all the squares together to make the blocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have sewn over 40 16-patch blocks and I have over 40 blocks yet to be sewn. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Be-2RwVRSP4/VrUtNHVDAOI/AAAAAAAACgQ/uql4jArmcpE/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Be-2RwVRSP4/VrUtNHVDAOI/AAAAAAAACgQ/uql4jArmcpE/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am pleased with my progress. The basket has been removed from my sewing room. Hopefully by the end February all 16-patch blocks will be done.</div>
<br />
February brings the color brown for the rainbow color of the month. I have made some brown patch star blocks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2BHGvmvftA/VrUtO29LYkI/AAAAAAAACgQ/zXHX99RRcB8/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S2BHGvmvftA/VrUtO29LYkI/AAAAAAAACgQ/zXHX99RRcB8/s400/image.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
I was wondering if little star blocks would go with the patch blocks. These star blocks are 4.5". I will continue to make them. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qIARfkNOaKQ/VrUtPjhSmoI/AAAAAAAACgQ/l5wdH_I3bTk/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qIARfkNOaKQ/VrUtPjhSmoI/AAAAAAAACgQ/l5wdH_I3bTk/s400/image.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a test block for the Amish quilt. I wanted to make sure my block was the correct size when sewn. </div>

I have made a few string blocks.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ewBMUTmR4QU/VqyhofryvII/AAAAAAAACfc/ErimArdYMoM/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ewBMUTmR4QU/VqyhofryvII/AAAAAAAACfc/ErimArdYMoM/s400/image.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
As I was sewing string blocks I got to wondering how a string block would look as a star block.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UcIPX7RpY5c/VqyhoExm3eI/AAAAAAAACfY/_QaF7p0skOw/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UcIPX7RpY5c/VqyhoExm3eI/AAAAAAAACfY/_QaF7p0skOw/s400/image.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like it. I think it will look nice with my patch star blocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No more blues for me. I will be checking over at <a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/">Angela's soscrappy</a> to find out what rainbow color will be February.</div>

I have been working on my little squares making 16 patch blocks. I started out with this basket full of 1.5" squares.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pQTAJdJu4-Q/Vok87k5cmLI/AAAAAAAACcs/cGH1lxIegaQ/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pQTAJdJu4-Q/Vok87k5cmLI/AAAAAAAACcs/cGH1lxIegaQ/s400/image.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been sewing and sewing. I have made 40 - 16 patch blocks. That is 640 little squares. I wonder how many more 16 patch blocks are still in the basket. I will conquer this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After seeing some star blocks with patch blocks I decided I would make six star blocks each month.</div>

I know I was determined not to start any new scrap projects. Karen at <a href="http://chezstitches.blogspot.com/2016/01/snowman-gathering.html">Laugh Yourself Into Stitches</a> posted about making snowman and they are so adorable. Yesterday I couldn't resist any longer. There are lots of little pieces but the block was fun to make.</div>

I was making these tiny bags for gifts and decided to make one a month in the rainbow color. This blue will be a gift for a friend. I keep my wonder clips in mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As we begin 2016 everyone makes resolutions. I am breaking down my year into what I will be making by July.<br />
Wedding quilt -1<br />
Baby quilts - 2<br />
Graduation quilts - 2<br />
The wedding quilt and one baby quilt is already a flimsy.<br />
<br />
I have decided I would have on going projects. One of these projects is an Amish Quilt Kit. It has many different blocks and I plan to make some blocks each week until it is completed.<br />
Here is block #2 & #3.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i5VrtEpx5NY/Vo_E4RE4trI/AAAAAAAACdc/vXJPIAJrDk0/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i5VrtEpx5NY/Vo_E4RE4trI/AAAAAAAACdc/vXJPIAJrDk0/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another on going projects will be using all the scraps I have cut and saved. My first basket to conquer is 1.5" squares.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pQTAJdJu4-Q/Vok87k5cmLI/AAAAAAAACcs/cGH1lxIegaQ/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pQTAJdJu4-Q/Vok87k5cmLI/AAAAAAAACcs/cGH1lxIegaQ/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
I wonder how long it will take me to make all these squares into blocks and how many blocks will I have. Does anyone have a suggestion on what quilt to make after they are all sewn into patch blocks?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8iRuIibrl4Y/Vok87trx7sI/AAAAAAAACc0/xPKZjBmJzMM/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8iRuIibrl4Y/Vok87trx7sI/AAAAAAAACc0/xPKZjBmJzMM/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is 400 little squares ready to be sewn into 16 patch blocks and you can't tell I have taken any squares out of the basket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVoyVlTaVRY/Vok87_detKI/AAAAAAAACcw/9crcUoynVeU/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVoyVlTaVRY/Vok87_detKI/AAAAAAAACcw/9crcUoynVeU/s320/image.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
It is a mystery why I thought I needed to cut and save these little squares. When this basket is empty I will not be saving anymore little squares.<br />
<br />
I also plan on sewing string blocks. These blocks will be my 2016 Rainbow challenge project. January rainbow is blue. <br />

I didn't wanted to make circle blocks. I have wanted to make friendship star blocks for a long time so I decided to do stars instead of circles. I started sewing stars on November 10. I now have 23 blocks. My friend <a href="http://deedeequilts.blogspot.com/2015/11/what-i-am-working-on.html">Norece</a> is making Road to Tennessee blocks.<br />

I have made one lime rainbow block and it will probably be the only lime block this month. I don't have lime fabrics and I don't have time to make rainbow blocks. I am gathering ideas for the rainbow challenge 2016. I have not decided what blocks I will be making. </div>

We went to New Orleans to visit this little sweetheart for a couple weeks. <br />

We went to the French Quarter a couple times. While we were there New Orleans famous Cajun chef Paul Prudomme had died. We watch the funeral parade. Yes it was a parade. There was a band following the hearse and people attending the funeral. What an interesting way to celebrate some one's life. We went into the church after the funeral. It a beautiful church.</div>

I was able to make one house block and two nine patch blocks. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most of the month of September I have been sewing on this orange quilt. No it is not a fall quilt or a Halloween quilt. I needed a prayer quilt for a man quickly. I found these black squares of fabrics and some orange, yellow, gold, and brown fat quarters. Of course I had to use orange flannel for the backing.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I also finished two I Spy baby quilts. The first one as I finished the quilt I gave it to a friend for a little one who was in the hospital. I never got a picture of finished quilt. I was going to give the quilt to someone else. Now I am sewing on two more baby quilts. I need them finished by the end of September. So I think my orange projects are finished. I wonder what color is next. I guess we will have to go over to <a href="http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/">Angela</a> to see the October color.</div>

The new color is orange. I did take time to make a couple orange house blocks. I don't have many orange pieces of fabric. I am sure I will find some more orange before the month is over.

I made a couple more houses. I now have a total of 35 houses. I still need more houses before I have enough for a quilt. Time to cut more blocks.<br />
<br />
Last fall my friend Norece and I decided to make a flowering snowball quilt. Norece made her quilt right away. You can see Norece's quilt <a href="http://deedeequilts.blogspot.com/2014/09/september-7-2014-stash-report-flowering.html">here</a>. I would make blocks and then put them away for awhile. Well I finally finished the quilt. Norece was kind enough to offer to quilt it for me. That makes my quilt even more special. It has been six years since I have made a new quilt for our bed.<br />

I won a fat quarter bundle, a jelly roll, and thread. I made this quilt for a friend who is very giving. These fabrics reminded me of her wonderful personality. She is an inspiration because she always sees the positives in life. She was very surprised and love it.<br />

If you like this pattern. It is called Jenna. You can find it at <a href="http://shinersview.blogspot.com/2010/12/tutorial-for-jenna.html">Shiner's View</a>. There is a tutorial there to make Jenna's quilt. I think this pattern was perfect for these fabrics.<br />

I have made a few indigo/black blocks for August. I am using 1.5" squares to make the 16 patch blocks. I have a few more ready to be sewn. I have finally found a block I love to use my 16 patch squares. This will be an on going project.<br />

I have been making cancer hats. I need to finish sewing the ones I have cut out so I can take them to the local cancer center. They are fleece and it will be getting colder here in another month and I am sure they will be needed. A friend gave me the brooches to add to the hats.</div>
