October Rainbow Scrap Challenge

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge colors for October 2014 are going to be the darks - BROWNs, BLACKs and even GRAYs.  And believe it or not, I'm quite happy with that!

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?

  2. When I first read the colors I thought it might be a dull month, but you have convinced me otherwise!
    I 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! : )

  13. The 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.

  14. I 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.
