RSC19 Re-do

I finally got my act together (I think) and figured out what I'm doing for Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year. Talk about dithering!! I'm still sticking with crumb blocks (Why was that such a big decision?), but toning them down a bit. I made some yellow blocks this week using all rectangles instead of random shapes. I like the random shapes, but just not for this project for some reason. I also tried to focus on less contrast, so no dark golds. Here they are:

The light is terrible today, so they are dull compared to real life. But when I used a flash, they were totally washed out. These are fun for me. I made them roughly 5 3/4 to 6 inches. I'll trim them down later to about 5 1/2 inches for a 5 inch finish. 

After enjoying myself with this little project, I decided to re-do my red crumbs. I unsewed the first blocks to reuse the rectangular bits and then added more scraps, again with rectangles and lower contrast than my first blocks. 

In real life, these have less contrast than they seem to here, and are more vibrant than cherry.

I'm still making string butterfly bits, but I'm skipping them in red. For now. We'll see. Maybe I'll need them later. I'll figure out background after I have a few colors made.

After finishing the blocks, I cut irregular shaped scraps into 2 1/2 inch squares and random-width strings for future projects. I've always wanted to make a Geese Migration quilt, so maybe those squares will come in handy for that later. I even have an idea for a rogue goose to scratch my itch for rogue bits in rainbow scrap blocks. I have tons of yellow fabric, and did not cut as many squares as I thought I might, but that's OK. My yellows tend to be tone-on-tone and will eventually work in other quilts. 

This week, I'm going to try to baste and quilt my Butterfly top from last week's post. Then I'm eager to get my hands on some giveaway fabric that I won awhile back to start something new. Oh, and now that I know the March color, it's time to dig into the green scraps. I also have another quilt forming in the back of my mind that is trying to gel. I've spent lots of time online looking through boat and beach pictures. Yup, another lakeside quilt, but a little one this time.

I'm linking up with Angela at So Scrappy and Cynthia at Quilting is More Fun than Housework for their weekly scrap parties. 

I hope you have had a good week and that this coming week might bring some scrappy quilting your way. Green, maybe?
