The Last Blocks for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge of 2025

Brown selvage squares
This is the last month that Angela will pick a color or colors to make blocks from our scraps. She chose dark. . .and if possible to include brown and black! I made some of each!

Black selvage squares
After I stitched the last block, I was curious how the blocks would look together. I chose to layout out the blocks sort of in rainbow order. Brown and black are not in the rainbow. I didn't have enough blocks of some colors to make a true rainbow; but, I like the modern take on the layout.

I  might call this project "Hidden Seven." One of my friends saw it right away. (Check out the placement of the yellow blocks.)

Possible block layout
Gertie, my inner squirrel wanted me to sew these blocks together. Because I need the design wall for a challenge project and Grassy Creek layouts, I agreed with Gertie and stitched the top together! It measures 62 inches by 72 inches.

Making the blocks was goal number four on my October list. Linking to Finished Or Not Friday, Patchwork and Quilts and Scrap Happy!

I always want to see the blocks laid out together - even before they're all made! This is awesome, Terry! That green background is really fun. Way to go, Gertie, for pushing you to sew them up!

Nice colour wash…I suspect you still have lots of selvages…. Gail at the cozy quilter

That's going to be a great looking quilt! It reminds me of the quilts that my Great-Grandmother used to make. That beautiful green has a vintage feel to me.

This has a really great graphic look to it. Beautiful green!

Oh, I absolutely love hidden seven, both as a quilt name and the quilt!

Congrats on getting your RSC project stitched together, Terri! I rarely save selvages, but you certainly made it worth your while. That quilt top turned out great!
