Finally! The Rainbow Scrap Challenge for 2020 is here! I always struggle the last two months of every year not having RSC blocks to work on.
It feels good to know I will have a scrap routine again.
The first blocks I tackled this month are my rail fence variation. I don't have a lot of bright green scraps so I tried to just go with what I had.
Here they are with the red test blocks I made. I think this quilt is going to be loads of fun to see bloom with new colors every month.
Most of my sewing time has been spent working on this new scrap project. Remember my Improv Garden quilt? This is the same technique but I am creating a nighttime sky.
Only a few more blocks to go!
Now what scrappy projects are you working on?

I like the start of your Night Time Sky project. Happy scrappy stitching this week.
Yay for another year of scrap busting! You are off to a good start with those RSC blocks. Can't wait to see what happens with Night Sky.
I love the railfence blocks
I really like the way you're sewing the rail fence blocks in the light to dark order! They make a neat design that way. The improv garden looks amazing with the night sky background! You have such good ideas!
Funny! I thought it was just me who felt the way you do when November comes and there's no more a color of the month. I haven't done much last year but my intentions are to participate more this year. (with something else than always the same quilt, haha.) Here's to another great year of scrap busting. It looks like you are on the right track. Enjoy! ;^)
I've often wondered how I might interpret Can Gogh's Starry Night. Looking forward to seeing how your Night Sky turns out.
It seems you got your mojo back! I have a feeling you are well on your way to another fantastic year of scrap busting!
You are sounding so enthusiastic in this post, Cynthia. As always love to see what you make for the challenge. I'm most intrigued by your garden blooms with a night sky...very imaginative and I love you are trying improv.
Oh I like those first blocks shown... what a cool way to use scraps and make something with order to it! Great stuff C.

I love your yellow roses.
The red and green blocks look great together.
Great start to a new year. Love the greens you found to work with.
Love the blocks, definitely going to be exciting to watch the quilt develop.
Lots of scrappy inspiration above! Thanks for hosting the linkup and Happy New Year.
