I have wanted to get my scraps under control and I have done quite a bit in that direction since last spring when I was able to move into my new quilt studio. So I have decided to do the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
For the month of January the color is blue and I have made two different blocks to go along with this challenge. I will be making 9-patches and also a string block.
I am not sure just how I will put together the 9-patches but I am going to use the string blocks to make "Basket Weave" from Bonnie Hunter's free patterns on her website Quiltville.
I am making 10 blocks of each of these for each color of the month. I have finished my blocks for this month and I am excited to find out what color is for February. I think by making just the two different blocks and only 10 of each of them I will not get overwhelmed and quit in the middle of this challenge.
So here we go.
My scrap 2 inch squares from my drawers. So good to get these squares into blocks.
These are all from my strings and and some from my 1 1/2 inch drawer that I am so happy to be using.
Thank you Angela for helping us use up all of our scraps in such a fun way!
