Rainbow Challenge, Green Week

Kelly Girl Update:  With the addition of the green hexagons, I am so happy I started this quilt.  Mine will be a smaller version of Kathy's Quilt, but with hopes of the same impact.

Glittered Nine patch Blocks, made in the 2018 Rainbow Challenge have been used to finish a small quilt, donated to the Upside Downs.    This organization promotes the "Upside" and positive aspects of Down syndrome and uses the quilts in gift baskets for new parents.

Freedom Flyer, Rainbow Version

The Wednesday update to the Scrap Control Challenge -- can't say this is an annual challenge, more or less a LIFE-LONG challenge.  With Sarah's guidance (Confessions of a Fabric Addict) and Angela's Rainbow Challenge, it seems the projects are growing, but so is the scrap bags.   

The above "Freedom Flyer" was born from some of the blocks made for the 2018 Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  Glittered Nine Patches and Framed Double Half Square Triangles are alternated; 7 across and 9 down.  The rainbow blocks are now labeled and sealed in a Ziplock for future to-go projects at our guild's Sit and Sew.

The first version was made with the Red/Blue Blocks for a Quilt of Valor.   

Rainbow Challenge, Freedom Flyer

A couple of weeks ago, I showed the Quilt of Valor version of Freedom Flyer - I liked the layout so much (using "Glittered Nine Patches and Double HSTs), I am making it again in rainbow colors.  I still need to frame the Double HSTs, then I can pull off the wall and make a kit for travel sewing.

Scrap Control Finish, Glittered Nine Patch

With the continued inspiration of Sarah, Confessions of a Fabric Addict / "I May Have a Scrap Problem", I am plugging along with more Scrap Control projects.  The above "Glittered Nine Patch" of blues, greens and whites came together quickly.  For this variation, I added a scrappy sashing.

Using 2 1/2" strips, I started with simple 4-patches of blue/white, green white and combos of green/blue/white -- very scrappy.

The block is a simple variation to the "Prairie Queen Block".  To make, use the diagram below and  combine (5) 4 1/2" squares with the four patches described above.

I have also made these blocks all year with the 2018 Rainbow Scrap Challenge, using a little more a more planned color combo for each block (LINK).
