This week I pulled yellow scraps out of the 4.5 inch bin and made some Half Rectangle Triangles (HRTs).
And I made one 16 inch Fractured Rail block. I started making these about mid year last year. I was going to write that I've been making them in the RSC color plus a solid or tone on tone in a complementary color except that I noticed that blue should have been purple. Thank goodness that was only a self-imposed rule so I can overrule the rule.
And finally I sewed anything less than a 4.5 inch square into a strip. I've been doing that for several years instead of throwing them into a crumb box. I have a lot of strips now. At the end of this year I'll figure out what to do with them.

What a cheerful looking post! Yellow always looks so happy.
Love the yellow with the watermelons on it!
That's what I like - no rules! They are our quilts so we get to do whatever we want. :)
I break my own rules all the time! Who would know if you don't tell them? I love ALL your scrap projects.
Fractured Rail blocks... interesting! Looks like your YELLOW scraps are keeping you busy. Enjoy!
Lots of pieced strips sounds very promising! Hopefully they make a quilt or two with fabulous memories and sparkle!
Seeing your Rainbow Scrappy blocks always brightens my day even at night.
One of the things I enjoy about your posts is spotting all the different things in your scraps. Where else could I find sunflowers, watermelon and a chicken all in one place?
I love breaking my own rules! 8)
Your projects (and your scraps) are always fascinating! Can't wait to see what those strips grow up to be!
