A new year, and we're off to a new start with RAINBOW SCRAP CHALLENGE 2020. Our challenge color for January is GREEN and I found plenty of scraps to work with.
Last year, my Northern Lights RSC blocks became very successful finished quilts, so I'm going to repeat them again this year. This is the block series that I broke down into 'warm' and 'cool' sets. This month's GREEN blocks kick off the 2020 cool set.
I also revisited some Letterbox blocks that I experimented with last year. My GREEN scraps worked well here. I like these blocks and will continue with them through all the colors/months this year.
I also pieced some small GREEN HSTs to add to my accumulation for Twilight Visions, a quilt found in Beyond the Battlefield by Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene. In order to make 24 blocks, I'll need 384 HSTs, and these latest GREEN ones bring my total up to 240. I have them pinned into groups of sixteen (enough for one block) so I don't have to keep recounting them.
And finally, I put together some GREEN crumb blocks.

Very very pretty!! Especially your first set of blocks...my favorite!
I'm still making Northern Lights blocks as inspired by you last year! You have lots of pretty green scraps!
What a great start to GREEN month for RSC20!!!
You really have a nice head start--I am still choosing a block...

Wow, you’ve got a lot of great blocks going on! It’s going to be fun watching them all come together.
Oh, yes...those Northern Lights did make wonderful quilts. Great idea for another year of them. I spy lots of 30s fabrics. Yummm. And I only have one of them in my stash of 30s which I need to dig into one of these days.
Great assortment of greens! I think my favourites are the crumb blocks. Remind me somewhat of crazy quilting.
You've made a fantastic start to RSC2020. Good job!
I'm always a sucker for HSTs, so Twilight Vision really catches my eye. I'm already looking forward to seeing you get that one together!
I still need to pick a block for this year. I've got a few carry-overs from previous years, but those don't count, right?
