Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2017 February color is teal.  These are batiks that have teal in them.  I make it a point to use only my stash for this So Scrappy challenge rather than buy any fabric.  
Love snow days. Finished all the Sunbonnet Sue blocks machine appliqued (had to play with my new Singer Quantum 9960) onto very scrappy log cabin blocks.   Need to decide on the border. Right now each "Sue" block is 16 inches so the quilt is now 48 x 64.  
  The purple is from the So Scrappy Rainbow Scrap Challenge January purple month.  I got this idea from a Craftsy pattern and one I saw on the Quilting Bee Facebook page.

Rainbow Challenge 2017 Challenge progress 

Participating in the Rainbow challenge 2017 this year.  I chose the Bear's Paw block in batiks.  January was purple so I used my light and dark purple.   

In the spirit of the Rainbow Challenge at So Scrappy blog, I emptied out my bucket of scraps.  I had leftover 1930s vintage reproduction fabric and wanted to use my Accuquilt cutter that I've never used  before.  I made 12 Sunbonnet Sues and saw a Crafty pattern using Log Cabin in scrappy as the backdrop for the Sunbonnet Sues.  I have 11 Log Cabin blocks done and 4 Sues appliqued.  Using my new Singer 9960 sewing machine to applique around the figures.
