This month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge color is teal/turquoise/aqua. Here is my June block with its companions. Each block uses 24 different prints of the monthly color.
Block Lotto is following the RSC this year. Here are nine entries for June and an extra (since each fabric combination makes two blocks). 
The batik stars have been on my design wall for nearly a month. I knew that taking them down would postpone my doing anything with them, and after all, they are my One Monthly Goal for June. So I set about setting them. I began the sashes and considered other batiks for the setting triangles. This green with coral-and-blue spatters seemed promising. I cut lengthwise (borders) and quarter-square setting triangles. I didn't like the effect: too dark!

The light setting is best. Good choice. I like the blocks you are making for the RSC. So doable.
ReplyDeleteAs frequently happens, the quilt "told" you what it needed. It's going to be a stunner!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the lighter fabric for the setting triangles; you made a great choice!
ReplyDeleteYour RSC string blocks look awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh, Nann, I like the lighter batik so much better! Your blocks look great, too!
ReplyDeleteYour batik stars are so awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteYour star quilt just sparkles. The lighter batik is the one.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say Nann I was on the fence with the red sashing but now that you have it together it is looking great. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap. I like the lighter batik best also.
ReplyDeleteomigosh..i love aqua! and your stars are gorgeous and i agree about the setting triangles....
ReplyDeleteThe lighter batik does really highlight the stars. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteBoy do I like the orange flap -- flange sounds so much more sophisticated for the basic flap! And, thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning the OMG challenge. I just put away the quilt that I wanted to finish for it. It needs the joining section sewn down and then I can do the rest by hand as I watch tv at the end of the day. MUST get it out today! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what a change in tone can do! I love that dark fabric but you were too right to try something else. The design is no longer "stopped" by a dark border. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteToo right, the lighter border looks amazing! I love your RSC blocks too, Now, on to pink!
