From the beginning of the year, I said I wouldn't "picked" a block for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year as I have enough to finish already. That was until I saw this cute block on Seriously... I think it needs stitches. She does blocks for all kind of "National Day". Anywho! I fell in love with this one.
It's made with 1.5 inches strips. I wanted to see if bigger was better so I pulled out 2.5 pieces. (Why not 2 inches? I have absolutely no idea! And wine was even not involved in the equation ... yet. ;^))
I didn't bother to add the last border because it is now standing at 10.5". I don't have a lot of scraps that are big enough to make this block so it defies the purpose of the RSC.
Anywho! The design wall looks like this and I started nothing new. Hahaha.
Still working on the green border. Because I didn't pay a lot of attention which way I sew the 4-Patch together, I have a lot of unpicking to do. Lots of the 4 patch are spinning the wrong way or have the dark green in the wrong place.
Nevertheless, I managed to have two borders (the longest ones) ready for Field of Poppies. So progress was made, just slower than anticipated.
Enjoy!
;^)

The car seat mats look great and your blocks are wonderful. I have done the same thing with 4 patches.
The quilt in your header picture is a good one. Love the blues and browns. So many different blocks. A lot to look at.
heaps of lovely blcoks…. you are the queen of fiddly blocks....

Lovely blocks; the teal one looks super easy. Good luck making the rest of the colours!
Love, love, LOVE those Pecking Order blocks with black, gray, and yellow!!! And look at you, working on TEAL for the RSC, too. Go, you!
Looks like it must have National Button Day! Those are cute blocks - I think I would like the smaller one better, too.
Love the car seat mats and that is an interesting block but, not a lot of scope I feel. xx
Well, your giant button could be the start of a medallion quilt. Or a table runner. (I do like the little button better, but I'm always a sucker for a small block!)
I feel your pain with those 4-patches. I had an awful time with the ones in my checkerboard rails quilt!
I've also made that error when making four patch blocks. Who would think that such a simple block would trip us up?
I have learned that anytime I am working on a project with light/dark 4 patches or 9-patches, I pin a block above my sewing machine. Or else I find I spend way too much time with my seam ripper :)
Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
Jolis blocs bouton ! Difficile de résister ;)
Lots of fun blocks. Good for you making progress towards the finish line of past RSC projects. Keep up the good work!
Wowwwww! That header quilt is amazing! i need to visit you more often! See ya soon.
Beautiful header photo in the snow. I have missed the snow this year.
Car mats are a clever idea - and fun 4patch sets.
