Answer: 288 when I finish this quilt.
I made Little (5 inch finished) Monkey Wrench blocks from scraps each month this year from my 2.5 inch scraps and 1.5 inch scraps as one of my projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. For the 2.5 inch corner HSTs I used scraps in the color of the month plus neutral scraps. For the centers I used contrasting squares from my 1.5 inch postage stamp collection and 1.5 inch scrap bin. I've started assembling them on point without sashing and have diagonal rows 1-6 assembled on each end. No design wall here so it's grab and sew.
Hopefully my Little Monkeys won't ever be jumping on the bed.
Jump on over to Freemotion by the River to see what everyone else is up to this fine Linky Tuesday.
So cute and a great way to use up scraps!
