RSC15, week 36

ORANGE IS HERE!

Its a good thing orange is this month's color, because I am working with it every day.  I'm busy with my pinwheel quilt made with HSTs from Summer at Easy Quilter.  Last week I showed you the strips of pinwheel blocks separated with white.  There are four of them, each about 42 inches wide.



   My plans for making a row by row quilt are taking shape, mostly trying different layouts.  My wonderful mail gal arrived with a bundle of ten fabrics which I got on a terrific sale at Connecting Threads.


Isn't it amazing that I found all ten of these prints, half a yard each, and a yard of dark blue in one place?  And look at all the orange!   I got to work by cutting some WOF strips from each and have been trying different layouts.

.






In addition. I have been finding fun charms to add other variations to the rows, like these I Spy squares from MSQ.


Haven't had such a fun week in ages!  Now I will begin the piecing and let you see how far I get next week.

I link up with RSC15 at superscrappy.blogspot.com, Sew Cute Tuesday at blossomheartquilts.com and Throwback Thursday at kristaquilts.blogspot.com.
