RSC17 week 3

A FINAL FINISH

This week I feel great because I actually finished Sarah's Color Charm quilt, the "elephant" I wrestled with.   It ended up being 54 X 66 inches.  This is only a sneak peak, but when Sarah receives it we will get some good photos.



A NEW START

For the new Rainbow Scrap Challenge I've gotten busy using my purple scraps.  Last week I finished two Geese Migration purple blocks.  Today I managed, with the usual ripping, to finish my purple Folded Box block for the month.  


However, it is actually my second one.  The first one I tried was found at http://patchworksquare.com/ which is a complete list of patterns, many given in various sizes.  I found the Folded Box 12-inch version with excellent PDF of directions for three sizes.


So I wil be one month ahead when pink comes along.

There is only one more Saturday this month.  It seems to have flown by so fast.  I can't wait to see all the fun scrappy projects you have made.  I get some of my best ideas from you folks.  So keep coming to Rainbow Scrap Challenge at soscrappy  and
