Miniature Rainbow Pineapples Rainbow Scrap Challenge project for 2013 |
As most of you know, BLACK is a favorite background for me - my beloved bright jewel colors POP against it so beautifully!!! But I also love black/white prints - probably for the same reason. Here they are in my Soul Searching quilt top, with my BLACK block in the center to tie everything together.....
Notice how the colors in the BLACK fabrics move around the block with the colors that surround it? I LOVE IT!!!!
For this month, I plan to add the BROWN limbs (sashing) to my Hootie Owls - after I finish up the last two blocks of course :)
And then I hope to make one of these adorable Shark Pencil Cases from Patchwork Posse in GRAYs ..... I've seen these made in some of the cutest fabrics!!!!
What will you be working on for the RSC this month?
Hugs & Blessings!

Love these projects! Totally agree with you about black, gray and brown prints.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read the colors I thought it might be a dull month, but you have convinced me otherwise!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved black, but I thought the grey and brown might be drab choices. I was so wrong. What fun projects you have lined up! : )
i love all your projects.
ReplyDeletegreeting grit
So many great plans for the month. Looks like you have lots of ideas for brown and black. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteoh these little owls made me laugh...so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteI had not seen your mini pineapple quilt.... it is GORGEOUS! I would not have thought to use black background for that but it really makes the colors pop. Beautiful, Teresa!
ReplyDeleteYour owls are SO funny . . . love that jewel box quilt at the top of the post!!
ReplyDeleteThat pineapple is stunning, Teresa!!! I also really like the dark Soul Searching block. I have been pulling out my blacks for mine too. Those owls are going to be a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteEverything here just makes me smile. :D The sharks!!!! love 'em!
ReplyDeleteYour projects wear black well! The are all gorgeous. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteThe moon behind the blue owl is brilliant. I must have missed that when you showed it earlier. And the shark pencil case is more than awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! That pineapple block quilt is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThe colourful pineapple with those great flying geese is a spectacular little quilt. Those dark colours are always so much fun to work with. They just spark up everything around them. Nothing dull or drab about that.
ReplyDeleteI love your mini Pineapple Quilt. The black certainly does its job! I made a few of the sharks also and decided I like making small quilts more than making small other things.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt collection here is just stunning! What a lovely bright start to the day.
ReplyDeleteAll the Hooties look so cute together!
ReplyDeleteLove those owls! That shark pencil case is adorable and looks like a fun project. Any suggestions for a 10" block that's not too difficult? Your two quilts are awesome!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute projects! And I'm right you with on black especially with brights. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe blacks make a great background ,as you say they make everything pop. The pencil case is too cute , I think my grandson would love it .
ReplyDeleteWOW! your projects are looking so great!
ReplyDeleteI love your pencil case project. Your mini pineapple quilt has really turned out spectacularly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of eye candy! Yummm.
ReplyDeleteAs Tony the Tiger would say, "All your lovely projects are GRRREATt!!! Can't decide which one I like best. That's really a cute pencil pouch.too. I would probably use it as a holder for my sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteI love black in quilts too - adds a touch of drama! Love the shark too!
