ScrapHappy Saturday - Orange Roundup

 
It is the last orange Saturday.  I've enjoyed seeing all the fall colors coming out this month.  A lot of block collections seem to be coming together right about now, which is good timing as the end of the year starts to peek its head around the corner.  Starting to see all the different colors come together is all part of the fun of the end of year.
 Last weekend I spent a good bit of time putting together baby nine patches with churn dash blocks.  These little guys have been brewing for quite a while, so seeing them turn into a quilt will be enjoyable.
Speaking of things that are enjoyable.  It is time to start taking names for the giveaway of Vicki Welsh's hand dyed fabric for the new month.  To enter the drawing, just leave a comment on this post with the number one quilt on your "someday" list.

  4. Boy this month has really gone quickly! Love your churn dash nine patch quilt! I love the idea of doing little nine patches. The one quilt I have always wanted to make is a winding ways.

  5. I have enjoyed watching your progress with those dear little 9 patches. They look good with the churn dashes as alternate blocks.
    My long term project on the "to do" list has been a Quilt of Crosses. Keeps sliding down the list as I find more and more interesting things in which to become involved. Blame that Pinterest!!

  8. Those little nine patches and churn dash blocks in a rainbow of colours will make such a lively quilt. It just sings.
    At some point in time I would like to make a hand appliqued quilt and quilt it by hand. I'm not sure what the pattern will be just yet. There are so many choices.

  11. I've sat out all month. Not alot of orange scraps and certainly not much variety. I made a very simple block for my growing row quilt and finished off too many hours making these pumpkin greeting cards. This is my favourite monthly challenge and the only one I can stay with joyfully!

  12. I forgot to leave words for my 'someday' quilt. It would be a beautiful log cabin with lots of applique in the light areas and borders.

  13. Your quilt is really coming together. It's going to look great! "Someday" I want to make a Cathedral Window quilt. All by hand, though, so it'll be a while!

  14. Your nine-patches and churn dash blocks look wonderful together! Great diagonal movement in your layout.
    Someday I hope to make a Winding Ways quilt, and my husband has been wishing for a Mariner's Compass.

  18. I love your orange blocks, Angela. I want to make a big colorful scrappy sting block quilt with each center strip the same color. That's on my list for next year : )

  24. Late to post today - neighbor had a new fence installed and the contractor cut the cable line. 24 hours later, we all now have temporary above-ground lines strung until the other guys can come dig a big hole next week.

    Happy to be here in Rainbow Land!
