I spent the weekend getting caught up on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks. I completed both red blocks for January, added the second green block for February and finished up one of the pink blocks for March.
I'm working on the second pink block. I'm hopeful that I'll get my lap top back from the repair guy this week so I can use EQ to work out the sewing instructions for the C, O and F for the letter blocks that will go into the quilt (click here to see the proposed quilt layout). I think my favorite cup is the red and white floral one in the top right corner. Do you have a favorite? I'm enjoying these blocks. It's been fun to sort through the scraps and find just the right ones to use. The blocks are only 6.5" square, so they don't use up much in the way of scraps, but every little bit helps right?
That's it for me this week. Check out all the other design walls over at Judy's Patchwork Times.

what a great quilt for the rainbow scrap challenge, just love it!
What a great cup quilt. I did one several years ago using the fat quarters my guild gave me when I moved: Coffee with Friends. But I love it with the letters. Ummm, another goes on the "to do" list.
It's going to be so cool. I love the swirly fabrics... I have a thing about swirls and polka dots! Isn't it nice to do a quilt that's 'just for fun'? I need to do one soon!
I love these cups - really love them. And yes, it's so much fun to play with scraps!
Love the coffee cups and the quilt layout is so cute. It will be a fun one to finish. Good use for scraps.

Kate, these look terrific! I particularly like the pink -- just lovely! I'm behind on my blog reading, how is life in your world?!? :)
Love these cups--the red one is definitely wonderful.
Those are too cute. I love all of them.
This is going to be the cutest quilt Kate!
The pink one is my favorite...every little bit helps when taming the scraps!
Looks like you had scarps of that pretty swirl fabric in two colors. I like them both. Every little bit helps tame the Stash. Glad to see you on the DWM again.
Design wall is looking good!
The blocks look terrific, it's going to be a fabulous quilt.
I love the way you're making one block with a coffee mug and one block with a cup and saucer. How clever!
