Paint It Black!

Paint it Black! Remember the 60s? 

This month's color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is black and/or gray.  This week I pulled 2.5 inch scraps in white and black if I thought I could get at least 4 HSTs from the scrap.  Along with some scraps from the 1.5 inch pile I made some Little Monkey blocks. I think I have 76 of them now.  And I had just enough left over HSTs for an 8 inch Depression Block.  Looks like most of these scraps were left over from ABC quilts and Halloween quilts I've made the grandkids over the years.   Ah, memories!! My grandson who is 4 just loves that eyeball fabric. He giggles every time he looks at it.  I kind of giggle along with him. I don't think my grandma, who taught me to quilt, ever would have thought she would see eyeballs in a quilt. And my 8 year old granddaughters have confiscated some eyeball fabric too. I guess it goes well with those hideous Monster High dolls.
