How long has it been? The Rainbow Scrap Challenge started with a simple idea. Instead of feeling overwhelmed trying to use up all of my scraps at the same time, I would just focus on one color each month and keep working through them slowly until I collected enough for a quilt. I have made so many rainbow scrap quilts over the years, but somehow I have yet to run out of scraps!
If you want to join in, it is easy enough to do. Just dig into your scraps and find something to match the color of the month. This year we will start with pink for January. I tend to have way too much pink, so I will separate mine into bright and lights. I will start on the darker and and save the pastel baby pinks for later. So go and find your pinks and then pick something that you want to make. I am going to focus on simple squares with lattices this year and see where they take me. I have a bit of catching up to do with projects that fell off the radar when life got spicy this year. I will circle back to those and try to finish up some projects along the way. What do you want to sew this year? Dig into your scraps and get started.
If you have more than one RSC25 project in the works, or have a few ongoing projects from years past, these tracking sheets are a great way to keep track. Stephanie makes them for us each year and there are several formats available depending on whether you want to use them electronically or print them and go analog.

Thank you Angela, let's go for the 2023 RSC!!
I have a mountain of blues, and this is a great one for me to start the year. Choosing a block is always a dilemma for me. I love so many. Maybe the wedding ring blues would be a good one for a beginning
Happily joining you again - this year will be I Spy blocks based on the colour - I imagine some months may be challenging...but I will give it a go!
Thanks Angela
I am new to this and I am really enjoying trying new blocks with the color of the month. Is there a color for May? I wasn't sure if I was looking in the right site. Thanks, Jan
Great linky parties this year. Can't wait for next year to start, even more scraps to sew up than last year!
The farthest back I can find myself participating was 2013. But I'm thinking RSC is even older than that? Anyway, gearing up for a new round in 2025. Thanks for being here!
I am excited to give this a try this year! Oink will be a challenge for me, but I know I can succeed!!
PS - a shout out to Cathy L (Sane Crazy Cumby) for guiding me to this site.
