Rainbow Scrap Challenge - Rounding up Orange

I finally got some orange blocks sewn last weekend.   Everything is cut, it is just a matter of sewing up the last bits.   We got a bit carried away with clearing out Sydney's room.  The plan was always to rotate her furniture up to the main bedroom and then convert her first level room with attached bathroom into the sewing studio.   Most of our old furniture went up to the cabin where the leather and oak seemed more fitting.   We are still working on putting all the pieces back together.  Kurt decided to invite all his work friends over for a launch party on Monday morning, so now the disaster of our furniture rotation plan needs to get fixed sooner rather than later!   

Sydney sent us a first day of school photo.  She started classes at the University of Florida on Wednesday.  Still waiting for more details on how everything went.  So far she needed a new computer because hers was full, then dropped the class that needed the giant program installed on her computer and added a new class about sustainability which should be more relevant to her major.  There was also some mechanical gator riding mixed in with exploration of the new campus and photos of food from the dining hall.   

The sky was exceptionally orange on Thursday.  I usually wait until the sun is coming up for my daily sunrise photo, but I was in a hurry to get into school that day because there was a lot going on.   Kurt was out of town this week and staying at the cabin while working out of the DC office.  He is home now though and can help try to reassemble the disruption that we started last weekend.
Light blue is the color for September, just in case you couldn't polish off blue the last time.  If you did manage to deal with all the blue earlier this year, then this is the perfect time to start catching up or assembling.  The end of the year is right around the corner!

  1. finally I figured out how to post again since something had changed a couple months ago - I was able to resize a photo and then post it which I had hoped I could do as I had a finish from one of my last year's RSC quilts to share

  2. It sounds fun to get pictures of all Sydney's new adventures! Have a fun weekend figuring out the new room set up and furniture. It will be lots of work, but a main floor sewing studio with attached bath sounds worth it!

  4. Your orange sky photo is brilliant! Sydney was forward thinking to change out that class. If she decides she "needs" it, she can plan for a computer upgrade. I hope the furniture shuffle goes quidkly!

  6. That sky photo is incredible, Angela!! Thanks for the heads up about September's Color of the Month. It should be interesting to see how that will translate into the PUMPKIN prompt for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge!

  8. Sydney is so grown up. I still look at the kids pictures in your header. The sunrise picture is stunning. Glad it's time to work on light blue. Can't believe we are headed towards time to finish 2022 quilts already for the RSC.
