Rainbow Scrap Challenge--July--Blue

I'm continuing the Rainbow Scrap Challenge--I have really enjoyed making these blocks each month (though my scrap collection is no smaller than when I began!).


My July blocks are blue--not my favorite color, but I do have quite a bit of blue variety.



I'm looking forward to assembling this quilt--it is the first rainbow-themed one I have done.




In other news--I finished the quilt from the April multi-colored blocks. I didn't want to use them in my rainbow quilt, so I invented a way to use them on their own.

This is Stringing Beads, a quilt of my own design.



You can read about the process HERE.


Thanks again to soscrappy for this great challenge!
