Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Oddly Intriguing

Slowly but surely, I'm moving along with my odd fellow blocks.  I now have 29 completed with another 6 in various parts and pieces.  My biggest stumbling blocks are the ridiculous number of triangles and the trouble of lumpy seams as I sew the quadrants together.  I'll get better at both!
I think I'll thrown in one block of a different color, but you'll have to wait until it's done to know what color I chose.  The orange has definitely become more dominant as I've sewed up the strips I have, so clearly I'll need to cut more brown next.

Altogether, I need 88 blocks.  My plan/hope is to have 51 blocks done by the end of the month.  So far, I'm doing well with that goal.

Be sure to check out all the other orange (with brown or black accents) projects this week!

That is turning out to be a FABULOUS quilt!!! Can't wait to see what odd block you will be adding. I'm not sure that I'd be brave enough to add a real zinger!

It's going to be a gorgeous quilt! Love all the different shades of orange and brown in the blocks. The blocks have a nice shimmer effect. Good luck with your goal this month.

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...
