Last year I depleted a lot of the 4.5 inch scraps but I still have a few in the scrap box. Last month I decided to make some sixteen inch Fractured Rail blocks. I am making them in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month plus its complement. I really didn't want to use white as a complement for black so used gray instead.
Last month I also started making HRTs from 4.5 inch scraps. I had a lot more black scraps than dark blue. And that's okay. I just go with the flow of the scraps.
HRT blocks can make a pretty interesting quilt top - I made one and have another one deep in the recesses of the brain waiting its turn in the daylight.
ReplyDeleteI love your Fractured Rail blocks! Very fun blocks, and these colors are working very well together.
ReplyDeleteYes, your Fractured Rail blocks are lively.
ReplyDeleteI like HRTs for borders.
And I always get lots of inspiration here, thanks, Cathy.
I really like your Fractured Rails. Is there a pattern or special template for that design? I think I've seen them before on Pinterest. Your HRTs are cute too. I wonder if they could be made with the Tri Recs Ruler?
ReplyDeleteScrap flow, it's a Zen thing :) Good looking blocks, all around!
ReplyDeleteThose fractured rail blocks are right up my alley! It’s probably what my blocks would look like if I tried HRTs!!! Lots of cute fabrics in there.
ReplyDeleteI just love it all
ReplyDeleteYou always provide so much inspiration! Fractured rail blocks are new to me! Way cool!
