Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019/20

 This years final RSC colour was yellow and I completed my yellow Dresden on Thursday. Then came the fun part of getting out my 20 Dresdens and playing around with them - fortunately we had dry grass yesterday so I was able to lay them out in the garden. And here they are all machined together.


It rained last night so it had to be the bed for todays photo. I am very happy with how these are all looking.

Fortunately I have enough of the grey fabric to make a decent size border so I plan to spend 2021/2 making little hexadens to dance around.

I will need to source some yellow spot fabric for the centres though as I have used up all that I had.

I am linking up with Angela at Soscrappy  - thank you Angela for your inspiration.


Treated myself to these gorgeous cyclamen at the market yesterday - perfect for brightening up the garden at this time of year.


Have a good weekend everyone.

  10. This will be such a fun quilt! I like the gray background...pretty flowers on an overcast day. I think flowers are their boldest on overcast days. I’m looking forward to seeing it with the hexie border. Your flower treats are so pretty.
