Scrap Happy Saturday ~ Orange Month

Scrap Happy Orange Month.

I love orange! 

Planned, not scrappy ... and not orange,

but I already made this block this week.

I started a second quilt Here 

with these wonderful fabrics, 

 Kindred Spirits by Riley Blake Designs

for the

Canadian Quilter's 52 Blocks in 52 Weeks

I am still sewing the scrappy quilt, too,

as I love the scraps with the gray dot fabric.

On Saturdays I like to sew scrappy and see all the wonderful inspiration at the

Rainbow Scrap Challenge @ So Scrappy

 More scrappy orange blocks in the making.

Orange you scrappy happy, too? 

:-) 

Orange You Glad it is Orange Month?

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

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

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.
