This month I started sewing together some of the colorful blocks I've made this Rainbow Scrap Challenge year. I started with my stack of 36-patch blocks made with 2" squares. The blocks are sashed them 2" Kona white strips and colorful cornerstones. A 1.5" yellow inner border, a 5" outer border and a green and white strip binding pulled everything together. It's quilted with a free motion meander. After a go in the washer and dryer it finished at 63" x 82". It shrank about 4" during the washing and drying process.
I was happy to see that PINK is our RSC color this month. Pictured is a pink crayon block, two 36-patch blocks, three 16-patch blocks and seven string blocks. A pink themed pot holder made it into the picture.
To see what others made with their pink scraps, go here Saturday morning.
The colorful squares in this baby quilt were supposed to be in a fabric book. I didn't want to make a book, but I did want to make a baby quilt.
And this is the back. It finished at 39" square. I donated it during our guild meeting in September.
I love making doll quilt. These will be donated in December.

Sheila, I do love seeing you put your made-through-the-year blocks into more gorgeous quilts! Just beautiful! Good idea with the baby book quilt, too.
Your 36-patch rainbow quilt is gorgeous! What a great finish!! Your pink blocks look amazing! Your little quilts are adorable!! So many wonderful projects!
Love your quilts and blocks.
Wonderful 36 patch quilt! You are so good with your RSC. I think the soft book prints are so much nicer as quilts.
Love that 36 patch quilt. I need to make a baby quilt for an expectant mom in our church. She is not finding out the baby's gender ahead of time, so I am thinking maybe one of these quilts would be perfect. I will have to give it a try - hope mine comes out as pretty as yours!
Congrats! on your TWO newly completed quilts. You've made a great start to PINK month, too!!
I love that 36 patch quilt, too! That just makes us scrappy quilters *swoon!* lol! It's beautiful! Your pink projects are lovely, too! Lots of fun scraps!
So much Quilty goodness in this post, I don't even know where to start. Except to say thanks for the delightful eye candy and congrats on all those wonderful blocks!!!
Lots of pink and other pretty colors... I agree with Cathy - Thanks for the eye candy.

So fun to visit your blog. There is always some beautiful quilt pictured. Great job on the finishes. I can't believe you have so many pink blocks sewn already this month! Great job.
There are so many beautiful projects shared this week that I don't even know where to begin. Lovely border and binding on the scrappy 36 patch blocks. It really does tie everything together.
Your 36 patch quilt is amazing!!! Love your border choices as well! You've got a great start on pink this month! The teddy bear quilt came together nicely! It will make some baby very happy :) I'm glad you are finding time to quilt!
Your 36 patch quilt is so special. The white sashing and the cornerstones really make each block stand out. Congrats! Your other pinks are coming along so quickly. How do you get so much done. I'm impressed.
My goodness... or I guess your goodness...what a lovely lot of goodies!
Your 36 patch quilt turned out beautifully! Very fun pinks in those new RSC blocks. You've been really busy!
