Finish with a Flourish

As I said several posts ago, my interest in Rainbow Scrap Challenge '21 waned around February.  I had a couple of projects that carried over from 2020 and I had plans to start something new, but I just couldn't generate any enthusiasm.

Then I saw Preeti's Masala Box last month.  And the rest is history.  Twenty blocks in 10 days.  I blocked, pressed, and trimmed all 20 blocks at the S'mores retreat this week then assembled them into an "artful" arrangement (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10).

As is, it is 48" x 60".  I plan to add a 2-1/2" border of the background fabric and that may be the end.  

Inspired by Masala box, I pulled more 2-1/2" strips and cut Square Dance blocks.  My first order of business at retreat was to stitch them.  I was never sure how they would be arranged, but after several iterations I settled on this orientation, though color placement needs to be improved:

As is, it is 48" x 48" more or less.  I think it could benefit from being a little bit bigger; I'm even considering making some lighter blocks to create an ombre effect (I may have mentioned that before).  Anyway, two RSC tops will be complete before year's end!
