Welcome to the 6th block in the 2021 Monthly Color Challenge. We are officially halfway through the BOM. Whoa. If that isn't exciting enough for you, we've reached the end of Quarter 2! Winners will be chosen July 1st!!
This month our color is inspired by . . . the pumpkin. Which is odd, I know, but even more so? The color for October is pink.
When I'm choosing colors for each month I have tried to stay away from the typical colors, while this isn't always the case, I like the extra challenge of getting out of that mindset of "spring colors," "fall colors," "Christmas colors," ete. I would love to hear from our southern hemisphere quilters though, if "pumpkin" in June is fitting?
This block has a few different quilt block units, but each one is a traditional piece trimmed to size to make this an easy assembly.
**Reminder! There is a How-To Video for each month!**

Love the colors you chose. Thanks for the pattern.
ReplyDeleteDown here in New Zealand, I have orange flowers in the garden, orange leaves are falling, the morning sky is sometimes that deep red that fades to orange, there are fruit in the shops, and the fire gives that orange glow that warms our home and hearts. So, a great colour for us down south. I am doing the 12 inch blocks, and they will be the start of a pocket on a bag, so will I get 12 bags all done by Christmas?
ReplyDeleteI love that you are mixing things up with pumpkin in June. I am loving your patterns this year and having a lot of fun with them!
