(Day 7 of my blogpost a day August challenge)
When I've had a spare moment or bit of inspiration I've been trying to catch up on my Split 9-patch blocks for this year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks. (This is hosted by Angela over at soscrappy.)Since I've mastered the web-piecing technique, I find these a lot of fun to sew up!
I enjoy rummaging through my scraps looking for the right coloured fabrics - it generally turns into another session of scrap taming and sorting and that is not a bad thing! Of course, once I sew them up I immediately think - oh that scrap doesn't belong....but such is the nature of scrap blocks/quilts.
April's colour was pink —
May was orange —
Aqua for July —
Yellow is August's colour which I haven't started on yet.
Taking scrappy sewing to the extreme, I'm not adverse to joining a couple of scraps to make a 2 ½" square - if that is all I have of a particularly cute fabric - but this one took the cake......I had joined two pieces to get the right size - but then mis-cut it when I went to trim it down. Not to be outdone, I decided to sew it up again and keep it as a wee memory of my stupidness!
Here's the family photo showing them all together —
'til next time.
happy stitches,

Good afternoon--or at least it is afternoon here!!! Love all those nice pretty bright colored blocks--even your 'boo-boo" one is cute--hugs, di
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a different colour each month and might join in. I could use up some of my scraps to make placemats perhaps. Your star blocks look great.
ReplyDeleteI love your RSC blocks so colorful!
ReplyDeleteYep! I've been known to sew two small pieces together to make another small piece. LOL Better than throwing it away. Your blocks look good altogether like that.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look lovely, going to be a great quilt. xx
