The Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour for July is red, so that’s what I have been stitching up this last week. I’m making two projects with the cute little bricks blocks this year, one in the original setting, and then I wanted to try a zig zag setting as well. The zig zag blocks are being constructed in rows, and the original blocks will have colours sprinkled throughout the quilt. These little blocks are quick and easy to stitch, and I know several others taking part in RSC are stitching some up too.
Little Bricks
What next? How about some Happy Blocks, such a cute name. I stitched up some for a boy and some for a girl, using red squares, or maybe those with a touch of red, whatever I felt suited. What’s hiding in here – knights in shining armour, alien bugs, black cats, airplanes and circus animals in the boys blocks. And gardens, flowers, puppies, red houses and Minnie Mouse in the girls selection. I have plenty of 5in squares so will continue with these blocks next year.

That’s all my red stitching so far, but there is sure to be more next week.

Red is such a fun color to sew with - gives the blocks lots of energy! I love the zigzags with the little bricks and your happy blocks, too!
