Orange 2020 Monthly Color Challenge – March Block
It’s the last month of the first quarter for the 2020 Monthly Color Challenge already. If you would like to get your free copy of the March block, just follow the link to Jen’s website. Orange is the featured color.
Orange You Glad You’re Reading This??!
Crayola Kaleidoscope is the name of this fabric collection we are using for all of the 2020 blocks. This month, Jen’s inspiration is the Oriole. This birdie features a beautiful orange breast with black highlights. My friend, Wikipedia, told me “the Baltimore oriole is a small icterid blackbird common in eastern North America as a migratory breeding bird. It received its name from the resemblance of the male’s colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Lord Baltimore.” I’ll bet you didn’t know that! Orange you glad you do now??
March Orange Piecing
Sue started cutting the necessary pieces for me and then it was time to start sewing.
Flying geese were the order of the day when following Jen’s pattern. I have never made flying geese this way, but it works slick.
March Orange Ta-Da
Here is our third monthly color challenge block for 2020 in a rather striking layout. I never would have thought to use the flying geese like this – thanks to Jen! The mini pinwheel in the center just makes me happy.
Wanna see the first quarter’s blocks so far? I am also happy to share the January, February, and March 2020 blocks together.

Your March block looks great, and it’s done so early! Yay!
Great looking orange block! Can’t wait to see the other colors that join these three.
Your quilt is going to be so striking!
I’m a fan of orange, especially when it doesn’t lean towards cliche Halloweenishness. This will be a stunning quilt top.
Roseanne I love that orange and the set of three look amazing! Beautiful collection of fabrics. You and Sue make such a great team! 😄 Carol
Hello Roseanne, Your block looks amazing in these fabrics! I keep forgetting to post mine. I have a couple other projects to work on first, but then I will get to this block. Have a fantastic day!
Love that orange…yummy enough to eat. Those three blocks together….stunning. This will be a beautiful quilt!
Looking fab! I may have missed a few blogs since I was at a ProStitcher retreat learning more about my computerized system. Just starting from today, otherwise, I’ll drive myself mad!
Love it! This quilt will be awesome with all the different colors on a black background!
super cute….i’m a big fan of orange and black!
