This month we are playing with red over at the rainbow scrap challenge. First I made my 16 patch from my pile of red/maroon scraps.
Angela mentioned apple peels in a comment last week on my 'orange' peels and that got me thinking. Why not make a little wall hanging with apples. Then the mind started racing.........
I remembered a quilt I've thought was so cute in a Quick Quilts magazine - September 1999. Hmmmm lots of little 2 inch squares.
Or, I could always applique some apples down onto a background and then have a second setting block either in a snowball - red with cream corners (a little hand quilting of an apple in there?) or a nine patch of some red squares? I have a feeling this pile of red will turn into some form of the above for a little back to school wall hanging. I found this neat apple on a coloring page here, that would fit great into a 5.5 or 6 inch block printed at 50%. Do I want to applique or piece? That is the question.
Head on over to SoScrappy and see what others are doing with their red bits of fabric today.

A little apple wall hanging would be so cute - for back to school or even just fall (for those of us who no longer have to worry about sending littles back to school). I love your red 16-patch! I don't have a lot of red in my stash ... I need to remedy that! ;-)
Looks like a fun project in the works. You will be needing a new applique project when all those orange peels are done. Apples are perfect for back to school.
You are on a creative roll! Enjoy!
That's a good idea. Red makes me think of hearts and apples.
Oh boy...it is so exciting and fun when inspiration hits!
I look forward to seeing what you decide!
Oh how cute!! Can't wait to see it finished. ;)
I look forward to seeing how your plan comes together.

Great pile of red and the block. Love your apple idea.
