Color Challenge - March

Welcome to the next installment of the Color Challenge.


The March color is orange and the bird is the Oriole. 

For the block pattern and instructions, jump on over to 

I have to admit that orange is not a color that I use very often - except for Halloween projects. 
I'm not really sure why I don't use it much, but after making these blocks, I think I need to change that. :-) 

Just look how stunning the Oriole is. 
The colors are so vibrant and striking!


You can enjoy the beautiful song of the Oriole in your own yard by cutting oranges in half and hanging them from trees or use special Oriole feeders filled with sugar water. You can even put out small amount of jelly to attract them. Planting bright fruits and nectar-bearing flowers like raspberries, crab apples, and trumpet vines, can attract the birds back to your yard year after year. 



In looking through quilt pictures, I did manage to find a few projects in which I used orange. 
I'm kind of surprised at what I found.

Of course there are the obligatory Halloween projects.




And then there are others in which the orange "just worked."

Sonoma - Camilla Quilts
I Heart You - Then Came June
Compass Points - Tamarinis
And sometimes, you just need a touch of orange to pull it all together.

Where My Heart Is - Tamarinis
***********************************
Let's take a look at this month's color challenge block. 
Go to Jen's blog for the instructions. 
Here are my fabrics. 
(Remember that I am making two blocks - 
one with a black background and one with a white background; and I am using batiks for my colored prints.)


I really like this fabric that I bought at 
If you are ever in the area, be sure to stop by the shop. It is well worth the trip.


All of my pieces are cut and ready to sew.


The units are ready


And just like that, I have two blocks made!


Remember, go to Jen's blog to find the instructions on making this block. 
Be sure to check out the bloggers for this month. 
I find it fun to see all the different fabrics being used each month. 


And of course, don't forget about the chance to win lots of prizes!
Got to Jen's Blog to see the first quarter sponsors.

That was so much orange and it is attractive and creative. Loved the Halloween project and the Sonoma. I am trying to get a new design in orange. There has to be some way. Let me think. And I will post it here. Like to have a full view of where my heart is.

Strange "water hack" burns 2 lbs in your sleep

Well over 160,000 men and women are losing weight with a easy and SECRET "water hack" to drop 1-2lbs every night as they sleep.

It is very simple and it works all the time.

Here are the easy steps for this hack:

1) Go get a glass and fill it with water half the way

2) Then do this weight losing hack

and you'll be 1-2lbs skinnier when you wake up!
