We are supposed to use up our black, brown and gray scraps this month as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
Last month the color was orange and I started on an RSC project for next year- Dresdens. I decided I would use any gray background but was undecided about the centers. I decided any dotty fabric will do surrounded by gray medium sized rick rack. I love rick rack.
I made 3 more vintage butterfly blocks (Beggar Blocks) and a few spares for the border. I think I will have to continue this project into next years RSC. These are 9 inch blocks and I want enough for a full/queen sized quilt similar to the one I saw at Nostalgic Cafe.
I also made a few 6 inch Twinkler blocks.
Got Scraps?
Use them.
Then link up each ScrapHappy Saturday.
The Grandkids are here so we will make Halloween cookies, play some card or board games and probably make another cooperative effort to try to solve a Nancy Drew mystery (computer game).

Beautiful butterflies. Love the rick-rack on your Dresden's too -- gives it a nice dimensional feel.
The dresdens are fabulous, and your other blocks are great too!
That touch of rick rack makes a definite statement on your Dresden plates. Cute little butterflies and stars.
