Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Oodles of Brown

My 2" squares are temporarily at home on the design wall while I decide if I will make 35 or settle for 20.  I don't need any more baby size quilts, so I was hoping for a lap or twin quilt but... how many more variations can I create?
 In between quilting a customer Tshirt quilt (and running a fever for 24 hours... ugh!), I knocked out a few more mini 9 patches as well as 28 9s and 6s.  I'm aiming for 170 of these (or maybe it's 174).  Since I'm now at almost 120, I think this will be a highly reasonable goal and should result in a quilt of happy size.
Check out the other participants of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge every Saturday!

Whatever ends up happening with the rainbow scrap quilt, it is FABULOUS!

I'm loving your rainbow blocks! Have you considered 20 blocks plus scrappy borders to get it to lap quilt size?

Your 2 inch squares are fabulous. What a fun collection of colors. I don't see why every block has to be unique, once they are all in the final quilt there will be plenty of variety.

Great rainbow blocks. Sounds like you will be making tons of them. But your lap quilt will be scrappy awesome.

I love the 2" blocks... I think it should be bigger!

Oh my!I love, love, LOVE your postage stamp blocks! A lap sized quilt of these blocks would be so nice if you don't need more baby quilts.

Beautiful blocks. Personally I'd add sashing and colorful cornerstones and either a mottled solid border or scrappy to make it the size you want. Hope you are feeling better and got some recovery time under a quilt.

It's all good no matter how you decide to set them.

How about setting those rainbow blocks with some black or a multi print to make the quilt bigger.?

The rainbow squares remind me of an Impressionist painting - lovely! Hope you're feeling better!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
