I just love ORANGE in quilts! The good news is that I love it. The bad news is that I don't have very many large pieces of orange. Here's a sample of some of my tiny orange pieces in this Picadilly Circle block. Some of the fabrics used I only had enough for one little wedge of orange and it was gone. But at least I had enough for this one!
I'm linking up with Angela at SoScrapy: ScrapHappy blog. for the the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, 2014.

Glad you found enough orange for your wedges. They look look fabulous against the black.
That's a new block to me. Looks like a Dresden variation. I love it.
Oh! What a happy combination of orange. That Piccadilly Circle block is such a good one for RSC. It clears quite a few little bits from the stash.
I love how you've used so many different types of oranges in one block.
Oh that orange looks great with black, what a block! You have inspired me to go the sewing room this afternoon and work on my pickle dishes! How are your chickens?
This is a new block to me, also. Love the oranges with the B?W...very pretty hugs, Julierose
Thanks, Angela. I'm always looking for oranges in the scrap bins everywhere. I just can't get enough orange!!!
This pattern in from Quiltmaker Magazine, July/August '13.
I just love using the last little bits. Waste not, want not! I just love how those little scraps seem to multiply overnight.
I was shocked how they went so good together!
Since I got rid of the three sickly "Craigslist" chickens, my original flock of 17 have been doing great. Yesterday I got a record 14 eggs! Whohoo! I just love those chickens.
Thanks, JulieRose! The original pattern in Quiltmaker Magazine had black/white backgrounds too. Have a great weekend.
Oh, this block and your oranges are lovely.
What a great block - glad you had some orange to make it pop!
Love the oranges against the black.
Beautiful block, love the contrast between your oranges and the back.
Great block. I;m always on the lookout for pretty orange fabrics.
