February RSC 2026 #1

Hi Quilting Friends,

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for February is GREEN. I have a LOT of GREEN scraps in my scrap bin, so it was easy to find plenty of materials for my February blocks.

Zipper Bag

My (large) GREEN zipper bag started with a pair of orphan blocks.  I set the blocks on point, and then added strips to frame and enlarge the center of each panel. When the panel was wide enough, I added more GREEN strips to the top and bottom of the bag to make it the right height.

I decided to get “fancy” with the quilting on this bag, as you can (maybe) see in the photo below.

The lining for my GREEN bag is a piece from my stash, probably from the ’90’s.

I used two orphan blocks, and about 1/2 yard of scraps and stash fabrics to make this pretty bag. It will be a Christmas gift for someone special.

Happy quilting,

Sharon
