RSC 1-10-26

I participated in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge years ago and thought I’d start again. I’m choosing to take it literally for 2026 and make 6 1/2” crumb blocks each month. Linking up with the RSC here.


After finishing the Cheddar & Dill top, the design wall looks so empty :(


And here is the stack of blocks-to-be with the third to the last Celtic Solstice Birthday Girl block one seam away from finished ;-)


I’m thinking of using these to make chandelier blocks but for now, I’m just sewing them leader/ender style or if I feel the urge to power sew.

Happy Saturday, Cherie

  1. Welcome back to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! Hopefully you saved up some scraps while you were away. I love the possibilities in an empty design wall. Ready to hold whatever comes next.

  2. How fun! Celtic Solstice is on my bed right now! Yours is pretty. Crumb blocks are always a good choice.

  4. YES - I totally get the need to power sew and crumb blocks are great for that. Good luck with those final CSBG blocks!

  5. I love crumb block sewing, and have been doing some of that this week, too! A chandelier block would be great with a crumb center.

  8. An empty design wall creates 2 feelings for me, ready to design something, or nothing to work on. When it's full, I have something else I wish I could put up there.

  9. Your blue blocks are a nice start to 2026 RSC. That design wall won't be empty for long.
