Catching up Kaleidoscope Blocks for RSC and Mistake





Since I got the urge to do kaleidoscope blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I had to catch up January pink and February purple.  So far so good.



Then as I was sewing on the last strip in the stripset I realized that the stupid that seems to have overtaken me since DH came home had struck again.  This doesn't look like purple.  Oh well, I'll have it done when we get to blue. 

Here is my required purple.
Each time I've done the strip sets I've had some extras, so here is bonus block number one.
And bonus block number two.  I''m sure that by the end I will have had all manor of strange blocks.

And here are the first 3 months, plus blue in advance and my two bonus blocks.   Quite colorful if I do say. 




And March's contribution to my Jelly Roll quilt which will be put together at the end unless I decide to start doing my long long strip before that, I just may.

The orange nine patches were a mistake when I was making the snowball and nine patches for the RSC.
having some type of mental illness which doesn't allow me to let well enough alone I had to back track on these also and do the January pink and February purples.  I hope that I don't make anymore mistakes, I think I'm getting out of hand.
I was just thinking I'll probably use this post in the next Saturday link-up for RSC and if you'd like to see the other orange that I did between last Saturday and next Saturday, go here.
And if you'd like to see what others have been doing with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge that Angela provides for us, go here.
Meanwhile, I did the last 8 of my 49  Throwing up Scraps (Scrap Vomit) blocks and I'm in process of preparing borders.  I have 100 4 patches to do and then I'll attach them and see how the finished flimsy fits on my queen sized bed.

Beautiful colours and such fun blocks! You might have convinced me to put ANOTHER quilt on my to-do list! LOL

I love all your blocks!!
During last year's rainbow scrap challenge, I made all kinds of blocks, cut lots of WOF strips and cut lots of 2.5" squares. I don't regret any of it. Used almost every block for something like rainbow quilt tops, pot holders, even sewed some blocks into some quilt backings. Donated some blocks. Had only a half dozen house blocks to carry over. Making more this year.
So keep piecing those blocks, girl.

Oh forgot. Used the strips I cut to make a rainbow "jelly roll race" type quilt. LOVED how it turned out, too.
