Hello everyone!
Any progress on Orange - the RSC color for May, hosted by Angela over at SOScrappy?
I'm a bit behind, but will get there eventually. I have been busy finishing the purple quilt top. More about that in another blog post.
Orange. Orange has never been a favorite color and that is visible in my stash; approximately 4.5 yards.

I've cut triangles for the Swirling Star Quilt. One block (big and small) has 14 colors. I have 12 different orange. I would love if I can find 2 more, which I doubt!
Update!!!
I had totally forgotten the Moda Marbles! Had a look there and found 3 orange! That adds more t0 the yardage; approximately 7 yards. Plan this evening is to make one big and two small blocks for the Swirling Star Quilt.

Orange isn't one of my favourite colours either so I don't have much in my stash. I'm slowly adding more because sometimes I want it in a landscape or it works nicely as a border.
Orange seems to be a love-or-hate kind of colour. Not many people are in between the extreme. I love it. It always adds pizzazz to any quilt or project. I'm glad you found some more. Enjoy! ;^)
Congrats on finding orange in your stash! Moda Marbles are awesome...it will be fun to see your star quilt completed!
I have not gotten Moda Marbles fabric for awhile - thank you for reminding me of it!! I had always loved that fabric I don't know why I hadn't gotten any in ages.
Orange seems to be a color that many of us don't have too much. But yours are beautiful, Astrid. Glad you found some more to make the star blocks. Have a great week.
All those strips qualify as orange, so good for you! I was happy to read the UPDATE that you'd found more orange. Can't wait to see what you play with this week!
Pretty oranges, Astrid!!! I feel like orange has been a neglected color for many of us. I guess I'm behind as I haven't started my orange blocks yet! Ten days left, so I better pull them out!
I also love oranges--from lightest peach to rusts...;)) My eldest grandson's favorite color, too.. I don't have much left in my stash as most of it went into his "going away to college" spider web quilt--quite a while ago, too now; he's 23 and moving to Boston in June for his work. Time flies for sure...hugs, Julierose
Orange is a struggle for me, too. However, I can be persuaded when the orange is a batik, especially like the one you showcased sewn with the white triangles. Good for you to push through and accomplish something in a color you are adverse to.
Glad you found some orange. Not something a lot of us use in large amounts.
Oh I do like your oranges tho - I think that may be a color I often overlook -but I am loving seeing the variety of what is out there
