Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC)

I finished the two blue blocks for January, and selecting pink scraps for February.
and I did swap out the ear on one big elephant.  Haven't started the baby ones yet.

here's the last 2 basket blocks:
 
 
oh and my Christmas amaryllis has decided to bloom right on time for Valentine's Day! I've never had one that also had blooms around the bottom, very pretty.
try not to see all the junk in the background.

I'm done with this top

Something isn't quite right with the borders, don't know where I goofed!  With the bias, stretchy feel to it, I am hoping it will quilt out nice and smooth.  My granddaughter says it is bumble bee colors...
Now to finally get started on a new project!  I have some in mind, but want to sort through my small scraps first as the QM Bitty Blocks that I am thinking of doing will use scraps first.  On my sidebar, I've included three quilt alongs I'd like to play along with.

Sunday's goal

My goal for this weekend was to get where the end is in sight for the Tell it to the Stars mystery.  I removed the previous 2nd border and added the color as instructed:
Then I had to redo the November clue for the pieced border and here is what one end will look like when I sew it on:
here is what it looked like before (my variation):
I think it does look more like it should! more coordinated... I will be able to finish this on Monday as right now! it is almost time for the superbowl....
