I have an affinity for rainbow quilts, and when I saw a tutorial for a scrappy offset log cabin block on Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework done in rainbow colors, I loved it. I made one block, was hooked, then added three more the following week. Today I added four more colors to the mix.
I haven't yet decided on my design or whether to add another color, but I would like to end up with a nice-sized lap quilt. Cynthia made 36 blocks in 9 colors and added 6 blocks of background colors for a 54" by 63" quilt, shown here. She is a very prolific quilter, and she keeps me inspired!

Very pretty Linda, its amazing how those scraps come together to make a lovely pattern with such zing! Love to see your finished lap quilt and just how many colours you fit in. Enjoy xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn! I'm hoping I can get moving on it and make some decisions. ;)
DeleteYour blocks look fantastic! These colors alone will make a very pretty quilt, but adding different shades of your core colors could look nice also.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty! I like that block, too! Going to have to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diann! The block is really easy to assemble. ;)
DeleteBeautiful blocks Linda! I can't wait to see how you put them together! Have a good week! Christine x
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine. ;) I woke up determined to make a decision on it - we'll see if I do. Lol!
DeleteLovely scraps, lovely blocks...will make for a lovely colorful quilt.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cathy!
DeleteI love scrappy quilts. I can't wait to make a real one some day when my stash and scrap bins are well rounded. I love that style log cabin too. Especially in the layout that reads as circles. Can't wait to see what you settle on.
ReplyDeleteGayle, my scrap bins started off neat, clean, and sparse. For some reason they are now full and messy - I thought they were supposed to get smaller when you make scrappy quilts! :)
DeleteOh she sure does keep us inspired! I'm about to put my offset log cabin quilt on my frame this morning! Glad I found your site, Linda; you came into mmm quilts as a no-reply. There is a fix for that, if I can find the post on our FB page from the New Bloggers....Thanks for the comment love on my heart quilts post. :-)
ReplyDeleteSandra thank you for visiting! That is so odd about the no-reply thing - there are one or 2 blogs I regularly visit that reply to my comments, so I'm not sure what I did differently. I adjusted a couple things I saw as suggestions on a blog help website, so hopefully that fixed it. Thanks!
DeleteYour blocks are looking great! I especially like the turquoise and pinks one on the top! Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap! I love to hear I have inspired a quilter to play with their scraps.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cynthia!
DeleteOh my gosh, these are adorable! What a fun way to use scraps.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, are you getting my replies to your comments you leave on my blog? I email replies and would to know if it's actually working! Thanks!
Thank you Melanie! As far as comments, I just had a gal posted a comment earlier that said I was commenting as a "no-reply blogger" on her blog - ugh! I thought I had that fixed and so today I worked on it. I don't remember getting an email from you, but I'm not positive. I'll let you know if I get a reply from you.
DeleteYou just blow my mind with all that you do. I feel proud when I sew on a button.
ReplyDeleteLol Pattie! Sewing on a button is more than many can do, so you have a right to feel proud. ;)
