March Color Challenge Block

I’m happy to share my March Color Challenge block for the 2021 Monthly Color Challenge hosted by Patterns by Jen. Jen shares a block each month – this year in two size options – and we have the month to complete the block and link up at month’s end. The blocks are basic and simple, easily finished each month. If you are interested in joining in, you can find all the information here

In March, the squirrels get very busy in our backyard, finding acorns from last fall, raiding the bird feeders, and scampering all over. The squirrels have been a bit busy in my quilt room too, so I’d better get this block posted before they distract me once more. 

Jen’s inspiration for her blocks this year are fruits and veggies. The food for March is the sweet potato. I love, love, love sweet potatoes, and my favorite way to make them is to chop or slice them, toss them with other vegetables and some olive oil and spices, and roast them or grill them. Yum! 

This year I’ve chosen to make the 6-inch blocks. The light red-orange in my block is leftover scraps from the fabric I used to make my Solar Flare quilt. I was so glad to find just enough for this block. The dark red orange is another scrap from my stash. 

I’ve finished my March Color Challenge block just in time. How can the end of March be just around the corner already? 

What about you? Are you sewing along with the 2021 Monthly Color Challenge? If so, is your block done? 

Happy sewing, all!

Wendy
