This month the colour for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is orange. This fun challenge is run by Angela of Sew Scrappy. Orange is not one of my favourite colours, and is not a colour I would ever wear. I found several orange fabrics tucked away, and I made my usual four Bow Tie blocks and two more Asterisk blocks.

I’m always amazed at the number and variety of projects that some participants do. Next year I hope to get a little more adventurous and have already decided on a couple of blocks which I want to stitch up.
Although the colour orange is not really my cup of tea, we have used this colour in furnishings. In our former home, a Lockwood wooden home with lovely cozy internal wooden walls, we had bright orange curtains in our sitting room. This colour looked wonderful and so warm against the timber walls, particularly in winter with the curtains pulled tightly closed across the large picture windows, and the fire burning.
It’s not quite winter here yet, but the weather is getting cooler and I made my first big pot of soup. Yummy pumpkin soup, flavoured with bacon, onions and a hint of curry. So tasty, and just right for May, definitely orange in colour!
Delicious pumpkin soup

Fabulous Orange Bows and Asterix blocks and your Orange Pumpkin soup looks delicious....
Pumpkin soup looks lovely and yummy. Just wondering what your favourite colour is.
I love pumpkin soup and for some reason haven't made it in a long time. Orange had never been a favorite color of mine as I do not look good in orange and I guess that is why I don't care for it - but since making my Mystery quilt in November and December I have been looking at it a bit differently I guess and I am starting to change my mind a bit on that now - still don't like it on me but I'm starting to like the color
Nice blocks. Orange is not a color I prefer and I'd be hard pressed to find any hint of it in my home let alone my fabric stash.
Hello ButterZ, thanks for visiting. My favourite colour to wear is blue, from pale to navy, and I love the grey/blue shades too. With a little pink and lavender now and again. I definately don't wear orange!
Yum!! Do you have a favorite recipe for your pumpkin soup? I've done butternut squash soup, but never pumpkin. By the way, your ORANGE blocks look lovely (whether you like them or not!)
Your blocks look great for the challenge. It is not a colour I have a lot of either.
It is perfect soup weather at the moment. Yours looks delicious.
