Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Missing Much Green

Well, folks, here I am again.  Same old, same old quilt.  I managed to finish the bear's paw blocks and attach them.  There's one last brown border, so this is probably the last time the quilt will appear in my Rainbow Scrap Challenge posts.

I spent my "free time" (oh, what a crazy week) cutting a pink and green quilt for next year, but I thought I'd wait until all the pieces were cut until I snapped a picture of the tub.  I've nearly exhausted the sections of my green and pink stashes, but the blue-green area still takes up over 25% of my stash.  I can see where I don't need to buy next year!

Ooh, the Assistant has her quilt blocks in halves.  There's no green, but they're scrappy, so I figured you'd be interested.

Maybe the coming week will be less busy and I'll stitch up some Bits and Bobs!

It's been fun watching the way Grandpa's quilt just grows and grows. I'm sure he'll love it.

Nice progress for you and The Assistant! I hope that next week is less busy so that you can get more sewing done.

Here's hoping for a calm and unstressed week for you!
I love all those bear paws. That's a lot of fiddly piecing!

What a great quilt...ones that are almost "there" take precedence for sure ;--)) I have nothing sewn in lime green this week...my 64-patch is done..so am continuing on Steven's Quilt...maybe I'll "sneak in" a piece of that lime --I think it could use a froggy....hugs Julierose

Those bear paws look to be really small, that's a lot of little triangles! The quilt is looking great! Hope you get some time to stitch more this next week.

Getting so close. I can see why it is taking a while, there are a lot of blocks in that quilt.

I've enjoyed watching this quilt come together. So many little pieces. Grand Pa is going to love it.

I hope you are making good progress on quilting this quilt - it is beautiful, I love the outer border of the Bears' Paws blocks - what size are they, they look tiny?!

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...
