Light blue is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month.
It is year end and I still have a lot of 2.5 and 1.5 inch scraps so I decided just to turn them into as many different 4 inch blocks as I could and continue this into next year. I may or may not combine all blocks into one quilt or several. Who knows where it will lead.
Four inch four patches, HSTs, pinwheels, snowballs...
...4 inch bowties...
... and 4 inch Happy Blocks.
I've been making 6 inch Twinklers all year and I think these will continue into next year.
I think I have 52 of them but will probably make a full sized quilt so need about that many more.
1.5 inch Scraps
I made 2 more 9 inch Vintage Butterfly blocks (aka Beggar Blocks). I need to see if I have enough now for a full sized quilt.
And I've added a few more 3 inch spool blocks to my collection.
2.5 Inch Scraps
I've made a couple of 8 inch Depression Blocks from my 2.5 inch scraps. I have made these throughout the year if I had any HSTs left over from making my Little Monkey blocks. Now that I have enough Little Monkeys I will specifically make 2.5 inch HSTs from my scraps for use in these Depression blocks.
(Side note: I really love the Depression block and have made it in several other sizes. It's a great scrap buster besides).
And these are some other 8 inch blocks that use 2.5 inch scraps. I saw it on line somewhere but didn't take note of the name of it. Anyway...more of these blocks will be made next year to use up my 2.5 inch scraps.
Got Scraps? (I sure do).
Join us each ScrapHappy Saturday and show us what you've made with them.

Oh my! That's a lot of scraps - so many wonderful fabrics to drool over! Love the sock monkey Happy Block!
I love the variety of scraps in your blocks. Soooo much fun.
Yikes, Gal--you DO have a lotta scraps and so many absolutely adorable blocks--loving that blue/orange combo, too. Hugs, Julierose
I love your scraps! You have been making a wonderful variety of blocks.
Oh my goodness! So many blue scraps sewn up into happy little blocks. It will be so much easier for them to all find homes now that they are blocks rather than random bits and pieces.
Wow! Wow! and Wow! Have you been busy. What a great collection of blocks.
Awesome collection of blocks there. They look lovely in the pale blues.
you do so much! I started getting your posts by email not to miss anything! LeeAnna at not afraid of color
That's a lot of blue squares! But you made a lot of pretty blocks from those.
