September is orange ...

in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and see here, what a lot of orange I've used!

EPP hexagons with 1" sides
When Angela announced the colour for September I was on holiday, and although I had fabric with me for making hexagon flowers, I didn't have enough orange for even one flower! Now I'm back home I went through some sorted orange scraps in a small zip-lock bag and found these:

orange scraps, mostly the ends of 2" strips
They are not enough to make one of these:
unlined scrap basket - pattern from Fiona at BubzRugz
There are probably more lurking in project boxes, so I'll get searching over the weekend.

This is all I have to show for September on the sewing front. Let's hope October proves to be more productive, especially as in addition to orange I still have to make an aqua and a blue basket.

I'm linking up to
SoScrappy
so head over there to see more (much more) orange delights.

Happy sewing

Marly.

I love the orange fabric in the hexies. Have fun searching for more orange!

Looks like some fabric enhancement in orange is needed. Pretty baskets and a nice start to a orange hexie flower.

I don't have many orange scraps these days either! I do like your orange hexie flower beginning. Hope you found more oranges to add on with!

You need more oranges!
I love your baskets - especially lined up like that! They're all beautiful!

Looks like you are sadly lacking in orange. Love fabrics you found for your heirs though.

Good luck with finding more ORANGE scraps!! Your row of scrap baskets reminds me that I need to get back to making additional baskets of my own. One of these days...

Brilliant orange! Love the fabric storage baskets and just added the link you gave to my quilting folder - thanks!

Love your scrap baskets. Hexies are so popular at the moment. I'm sure you will get something made..

Love your orange hexies! Very vivid. Hope you found enough to make a basket.

There's always one colour we have less of, but at least you had enough for a few hexies.
