Rainbow Scrap Challenge - From Orange to Brown, it's Definitely Fall

Everyone at my house was ready for a weekend.  I asked Drama Teen what she wanted to do this weekend, the response was "absolutely nothing".  Since this weekend is homecoming, the teachers took pity and didn't assign much homework.  After 4 weeks of playing catch up due to her surgery, this is the first weekend in a month that she won't be spending the better part of Sunday on homework.  

We are only three days into the month, but I've managed to get 15 minutes in the sewing room each day so far.  That's my goal for the quarter, to spend at least 15 minutes in the sewing room every day for the rest of the year.  

All of the last month's orange blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge Sampler are finished.

I'm still working on all the half square triangles needed for September's Inverted Star block.

This one should be finished by the end of the weekend and the brown one for October started. 

All the brown fabrics have been gathered up; now to decide which ones go into this month's butterfly block.


I'm looking forward to a weekend of fun stitching.  Hope you are too.  For more scrappy fun check out all the links over at Soscrappy.

Loved seeing all the inverted star blocks in you blog header. The orange blocks are looking good. Have an enjoyable weekend and don't forget to get in there and sew at least 15 minutes. I couldn't possibly limit myself that way. I lose track of time when I'm sewing.

WOW! Your orange block efforts are certainly eye catching Kate.

Enjoy your quiet weekend.

Live the orange inverted star! And I vote for that brown with blue, about six or seven fabrics from the left.

Great sampler blocks! It is amazing what you can get done in 15 minutes a day - looking forward to seeing your progress and that pretty brown butterfly this month.
