The Last Orange

It feels so great to be back into the 'norm' of it all - computer and all it's extras finally up and running so play time can continue!  I still have a few quirks to get either used to or learn how to work with.  But made it for all the end of the month updates.  And today is the last Orange Saturday for rainbow blocks.
I did have lots of skinny strips to make up all the blocks needed for the log cabins.  I love how these look and it is going to be fun putting all the rainbow colors together into this quilt.
And the little 'starlet' blocks.  Hey, I had some strange prints in the Sprout blocks, so why not an animal print in a star?  

And I saw this block some where before I went computerless - don't remember where now.  These are 16" blocks - yes, had to make up the purple and pink to go with the orange.  I think this will make a great quilt for my quilt guild charity donation drive next year.

Well the three weakest colors in my stash collection have been pulled for the year - I can't wait to see what next month's color is - I know I will have that color for sure!

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

    Orange looks so happy . I love those log cabin blocks and the stars with the patchy centres are one of my favourite designs. They look great in shades of one colour.

    For three weak stash colors you found A LOT of variety. Love your block collection. It will be fun to see it grow as the year goes on.

    I love them all. I'm hoping to jump into the challenge, though a bit behind, later this spring after I get all the teacher quilt tops done.

    All your blocks look terrific! The "starlet" looks like an interesting block to piece.

    Great orange blocks Sharon. I must finish my orange blocks in the morning as I forgot all about them.

    Oh boy, not sure which of those orange blocks I like the best. They sure are pretty! I think the log cabins are extra special. No wait the stars. Lovely.

    I love star blocks and you have 2 great choices. The 16 patch star looks like a great way to use up scraps. Happy to hear you have your computer back.

    NICE orange blocks. You have worked hard to stretch your orange. How are you with green scraps? I believe that's our next color to play with.

    Such a clever and cute orange cat, the log cabins look really nice with that colour combination and I love the starlets.

    Orange is my favourite colour, but I never thought about making an orange quilt. Yours looks great!
