3.5 Plus 2

X and + blocks

I've been using scrap chunks this year to make most of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) blocks. This week these blocks all use a combination of 3.5 and 2 inch pieces. 

Buckeye Beauty Blocks
I've been combining the RSC color of the month with odds and ends of shirts and multicolored black pieces. 

Propellers 
I've been combining the RSC color of the month with some odds and ends of gray for the background, red scraps for the ends of the + and black scraps for the centers. 


Antique Tiles
It's a fun challenge to try to combine three different greens from the scrap chunks to make these blocks.

    I am always amazed at the variety of fabrics you include in your scrappy blocks, and they always look great together!

    I really like the way you've handled your X+ blocks, Cathy! The last example I saw was a hot mess. Color value and placement make a big difference in how well these blocks turn out!

    I love those X+ blocks in a single color. I remember that you did some in pink, but don’t remember seeing any in yellow (?!?). What are your plans for these? I remember how fun those blocks are as a multi-color mish-mash, but single color blocks would sure be a fun exercise in value and contrast.

    You are hard to keep up with, stitching up blocks like there's no tomorrow! Always such fun to read your blog and discover what you have been getting up to.
