RSC 15 Ohio Lime

I've never been to Ohio, so I've no idea whether or not limes grow there; I suspect it's too cold, so they would only grow under glass.
Anyway,  the first block in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge  this month is the Ohio Star in lime. Each month Angela, at Soscrappy,  gives another colour for the Sawtooth Star sampler and posts the patterns for blocks to go in the centre of each Sawtooth Star. Sometimes, as now, this results in a star within a star.

I wonder how the block would look with the Ohio star set on point. I'm somewhat mathematically challenged, but I think I might be trying that soon. In case you're interested: don't hold your breath!

There is just one more star block to make and a few alternate blocks to complete and this year's challenge will be over. I wonder what Angela has up her sleeve for next year!

Happy sewing

So many plans in the works for next year! Glad you are almost done with this year's quilt. The lime looks beautiful against your background fabric!

Very pretty Ohio star block. I live in Ohio and I am not aware of limes grown in Ohio. We have lots of grain farmers, Airstream travel trailers, Honda car plants, Smuckers jellies, Cheryl's Cookies, Bath and Body. I am sure there are more but these are the things I can think of.

Such lovely colour play between the Ohio star and the saw tooth background. Did you notice that Angela has posted the final star?

Katy Cameron said...

Oh yes, much brighter :o) Your block is lovely too!

The lime really shines against your blue background. Great-looking block!

That lime green really shines with that navy background. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed version of your sampler.

Another beautiful block! I seriously can't wait to see your quilt all together. It's going to be absolutely gorgeous!

I cannot wait to see all of your blocks sewn together! This one is just as fabulous as the rest :) Putting that inside star on point. . . I bet it would look awesome, being mathematically challenged myself, I likely wouldn't take on that challenge (read headache!!) but I will definitely be looking for yours! I'll be patient :D

Gina said...

Great block. I love the idea of putting blocks as the centre of stars xx

Deb A said...

Love the lime against the blue. I can't wait to see your blocks come together into a top.

Cathy said...

Oh, that lime star is gorgeous against the navy!

Chantal said...

Dark blue and lime green is a such a beautiful combo. You did a great job with the Ohio Star. (good luck with the math for the on-point one.) Can't wait to see all your beautiful dark background blocks together. It will be a stunner by the look of this block!
