For this year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I have chosen 3 projects to work on. The first is a zig zag quilt made with 2.5 inch strips from a tutorial at Sewn Up by Teresa Downunder. If I stick with each month's color choice, I should wind up with a 51 x 53.5 inch rainbow version of the Pere Noel quilt.
In 2012 and 2013, I watched Sheila's Sew Cook and Travel blog each month with serious envy. She made Happy, Scrappy House blocks from a free pattern on Bonnie Hunter's blog. They finish at 7.5 inches and when borders are added they are adorably wonky.
I'll also be adding to the Rainbow Postage Stamp blocks I made last year and making some four patches with the extra 2.5 inch charms.

While shopping at K Mart this week, I stumbled upon a jewelry presentation and a raffle. If you listened to the presentation, you were eligible for a free piece of jewelry. My daughter was browsing so I stopped and listened. The woman giving the demo was very nice. I really felt sorry for her when no one bought any of the jewelry, but it didn't stop me from picking out an item when they pulled my ticket. I picked the faux diamond stud earrings that supposedly retail for $79.99. I placed them in front of a swatch of blue fabric since it is blue month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
I don't think anyone will mistake them for the real thing, but I will enjoy wearing them. They are my favorite style, free.
