RSC14 -- ORANGE!!!

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

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!
