My finish today is for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2025. One of the blocks I made every month was the 2025 Stash Buster Challenge block. My blocks are the big 16.5 inch unfinished and I made it in eight color ways. I didn't want a super big quilt nor did I want to make more blocks. I decided to split the blocks into two sets. One set is the warm side of the color wheel while the other set is the cool. I wanted the quilts to be approximately 40 inches square but my backing fabric was only 41 inches wide...so I hacked a little off each side to fit the backing. The quilts are approximately 36 x 41 inches and I will donate them to the local WIC program in the new year.

I was gifted yardage of questionable origins. It is spotted black and white cow print but after washing, it still had a lingering odor. So I got some cocoa brown Rit dye, washing soda (aka soda ash) and some snow from our deck. I placed the fabric on a wire rack, sprinkled the brown dye, then ice then the soda ash. I've never done this particular dying technique before so I'm interested to 'see' what happens!
