Rainbow Scrap Challenge: odds and ends

I finished a stocking this week.  Whew!  I thought perhaps I had taken on a task beyond my ability, but while it is not as elegant as I might wish, it's none so bad.

I also finished the binding on the Assistant's quilt, washed it, and have it ready to gift after Christmas.    I blogged about it earlier in the week.

The cutting for the Carrie Nation quilt is complete, unless I end up missing a square here or there.  I guess it's time to start stitching!  The box is neatly packed, full to the brim, so I'm going to hide it before JoJo takes it upon himself to mix up the thousands of squares.

More 16-patches are in process as leaders and enders (and to keep me from getting bored).  I have a dozen or so done, and have maybe 6 more to do.
three more rows are waiting near the sewing machine

Finally, I've been pegging away at my 9s and 6s.  The top is in two large pieces and three rows left to join (brown).  I really love the way they're coming together.  I wasn't sure the color transition would flow nicely, and before blocks are joined it's always hard for me to tell.

This may be another block I'm not done with, although I'm not sure what color scheme I'd like to try next.  Once again, it's obvious that even my scrappy ends up organized by color.  Maybe the "neutral space" could be a color rather than cream/white.  Maybe I'll make another in blue or green.  Hmmm.  Any suggestions?

Be sure to check out the other scrappy rainbow quilts that are coming together this week!

Lovely quilt:the gradation of colour is superb, and all through such little squares too.
Happy Christmas to you and your family (nice photo!)

Cute stocking. I need to make a few...I say that every year. Assistant's quilt turned out cute too. And that Carrie Nation is awesome.

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...
