In Judy's Color Challenge, February was Orange. I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough orange to do anything...ahhahahahah....was i wrong.
I started with selvages and did this....
There are no more orange selvages. It's about 60x72
Then ....
I had a bunch of I Spy blocks already pieced together as a 4 patch with the orange strip in the center, so I put them together, added a border, and this is what i got.
Then...
I had this aqua and coral top that had a few rows put together...the rows with the gray arcs on them. Plan B was to forget the rest of the gray and just put the rows together..and I got this...
Yes, I counted the coral as orange....hey, it got an UFO out of the box.
Then ...
I had these crazy quilt pumpkins that I had made with my embroidery machine, so I pieced them together and added a border and got this....
Then ...
I had some orange crumb blocks, some orange and green triangle pieces (from an unfinished UFO), and I rounded up a bunch of orange bits and pieces and got it all together into this ....
I call it Orange Madness. haha
Then ...
There was still some February left, so I pulled out this Patrick Lose Halloween fabric. There was a panel that I cut up into 10 inch blocks. And cut the coordinating fabric into strips and made more 10 inch blocks....and it wound up looking like this.
That is all of my orange fabric craziness for February.....but...there were still a few days left in the month. I have been thinking of repainting my kitchen....so, why not......new kitchen walls and ceiling and cabinets are 2 shades of orange.
Here's what the old kitchen paint looked like....it's been about 17 years and the ceiling never got finished with the paining. hahaha
Although I'll still be working on the kitchen remodel for a couple weeks, I'll move on to March fabric madness of Yellow.

My goodness! You did so much and your kitchen. I love it!! I can't believe how much you did (and how brave you are with that orange kitchen!).
You definitely took the orange challenge seriously! Cant wait to see what you do with yellow!
Love all your orange quilt tops!
Holy moly!!! You used a LOT of orange!!
Beautiful, that's for sure. I did a little orange when making baby bibs and burp cloths for a shower for a soon-to-be-born great-great nephew.
Wow, that was a lot of orange quilting, and though I'm not fond of orange, there's not a one of those quilts I didn't like. To have that much orange selvedge, you must like orange. =) And your kitchen! What a difference. It's warm and totally not bland now!
All of your projects are awesome, but I especially love the selvage quilt!
Orange is my main squeeze too. Nothing shy about orange.
Love all you have accomplished in Feb 2020!
