Orange is the RSC colour of the month. How much orange do I have, I wondered? Not too much but enough to make some blocks. First up were some Hollow Nine blocks. I'm only using cut squares tucked away in a small bag. There were enough little squares to make two orange blocks, and then I found some cream squares to make two more blocks. That will do for August.
Hollow Nines
I've used up the final previously prepared four patch blocks this month, to turn them into bordered four patches. There are spots, cats, flowers and afternoon tea settings. Guess I'll need a count up and see if there are enough blocks stitched for a small donation quilt.
Bordered four patches
There was only one more block set to work on, Happy blocks. Wonder if there is anything in orange tones in my collection of 5 inch squares? Only three - orange pumpkins, orange sheep, and pale orange/cream batik leaves.
Happy Blocks
So that's all I have in orange this month. Happy stitching everyone.

You are doing a great job using up those squares in the bag. How many more are left?
Great orange blocks! I don't have as much orange as other colors either.
I'm back to taking a break from RSC again for a little bit - I might be starting all over again next year I guess to finish the quilts started. I have some orange but not a lot
Pretty blocks, Jenny! I love the cream print with orange butterflies on it. I don't have a lot of orange either, but it's fun to get it out and see what can be done with it!
Lots of orange blocks. It's not a colour I have a lot of either, but I found enough to make my Kiwis.
Wow, you're done with orange & I haven't even started on orange yet. I'd better get going. Your blocks are super cute!
Good to see you making the most of the orange that you do have.
Pretty blocks for August! I love orange but it can be hard to find even in quilt shops. Have a great week!
you really do embrace the "scrap" idea! well done
Great start on your orange blocks!
Not much in the way of orange here. Though my next quilt will have a bit.
God bless.
They are happy blocks and all your blocks will make great kids quilts.
