Even with all the other quilts I am working on, I still try and keep up with my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks. It is a good way for me to keep a small focus on my scraps. We don't want them building up any more than they already are!
August is the color yellow. So I made one heart block and one ombre color block. I don't have a lot of yellow scraps so it was a bit of a challenge to find all these different shades of the color.
I also made 16 switchplate blocks. Yellow is the only color I need to finish this quilt. I will probably need more yellow blocks but this is enough to get me started so that I can decided on a layout.
Once I have an empty design wall. I can start designing the layouts on all my RSC projects. The new Compassion Quilt block drive gets announced the end of this month and I always have some "downtime" while I wait for blocks to arrive. Maybe I can get these tops all sewn together then.
What scrappy things have you been working on?

Whenever I see your switchplate blocks I want to make some! I guess I need to start sorting through my 1.5 inch scraps. Hope you haven't gotten to those really high temperatures yet this week! Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
That heart block is such a simple arrangement but so effective. I could do it! LOL And so beautiful in all those yellows. I love seeing your different blocks each week. Thanks, Cynthia!

Nice work with those YELLOW scraps, Cynthia!
