2021 Rainbow Scrap Challenge - The Year in Review

2021 Rainbow Scrap Challenge - The Year in Review

It's the final week of the year and this is where I break my RSC progress down to a monthly review of scrap use.  If you saw my 2020 Rainbow Scrap Challenge - Year in Review post, you might be surprised about what will follow.  I changed everything this year and all but stopped quilting for half the year!  We moved house and studio.

First, I would like to thank Angela for her continued offering of the RSC by hosting the 2021 Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year, even though she was having a really tough year at work.

I'm sharing this post

Angela @ So Scrappy

I appreciate her determination in offering the RSC21 Full Stop Sampler.  I worked on an abbreviated version, but fell behind because of all the packing and unpacking that I had to do during the second half of the year. Once I settle into my new studio, I hope to focus on working through more of the fabric scraps that I missed.


Now, take a look at my progress for the year...

As you saw above, I sewed with the Color of the Month.  (Almost) EVERY month!  My RSC productivity was severely diminished, but participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge remained my focus for scrap sewing!!  During 2021, I found that it was a great way to preserve my sanity in the wake of the craziness of moving house in a world continuing to experience a global pandemic.
