Orange You Glad it is Orange Month?


This pile of scrap fabrics landed on my cutting board as it is
orange month  at the

RSC16




Orange scraps managed ... cut into 1.5" squares.


This months colors are orange with brown.
I am adding green and yellow and other colors to the mix so it does not look
too Halloweeny with my black and white background fabrics.


As these are scrap blocks, the squares fall where they may
but I do keep the same fabrics from bumping up next to each other.


When I sew these small squares I do not
cut the threads between rows.


I just fold each row over the next row as I sew.

I find this is a good way to keep my squares organized as I sew.
