Green is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for the month of May - specifically darker greens like sage and forest. I have so many different RSC blocks in the works so I just made some of the blocks but used all shades of green. When the RSC color is light/bright green then I'll finish making the rest of my RSC green blocks.
This week I made some small Chips (3 inch finished) also known as Square in Square.
I had some pieces cut and in the project box with some other colors so I went ahead and made those blocks too since I guess I was in the mood. This is my second year of making them so I guess I should take count.
Four Patches made with some green 2.5 inch scraps. They are nothing fancy but it's always good to stock up on parts. And it's always nice to have an easy block to make when scraps happen.
I've been trying to completely empty out my 2 inch width scrap bin for a couple of years. One of the blocks I'm making to help empty it is Bow Tie. I was going to cut green scraps to make Bow Ties but thought I should go ahead and make some of the Bow Ties that I had ready to sew. These blocks also finish at 3 inches.
And sew it goes...
Do you know how you're going to set the chips blocks? I can envision a couple of designs.
ReplyDeleteLoving those green with B&W chips blocks so much!! What a perfect pairing of fabrics you have made!! You are just so productive--I am definitely the "Tortoise" quilter here;))). I am lucky to make one block a day!! But thrilled for that with my healing back issues...
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is a good one--
Oh--and I love your garden tours--how do you find time to maintain that lovely garden while doing all these gorgeous quilty things, too? That's what I'd like to know--hahaha

Can’t believe how many blocks you made. You must sew like the wind!
ReplyDeleteThe Chips blocks are so much fun to see all together with lots of colors and lots of different black/white prints.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you have us all fascinated with your methods now - i think I work a bit the same - making parts and then later making tops as they accumulate.
ReplyDeleteI'd find it fascinating to know how you spend a 'sew day' - how you decide on parts or tops, and what do you do with the littlest scraps - i don't see any crumb blocks ????
oh do tell... so fun to read..

Making 4 patches when there are some leftover squares hanging out is such a good idea. Before you know it,there could be a whole quilts' worth!
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing an RSC this year but the chips are on my radar for next year. I have a bunch of Tula Pinks ready to cut up.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at all your RSC creations!
ReplyDeleteI love those green Economy Blocks set in black print. Very striking.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are great fun...I love them xo
ReplyDeleteLove the chips!!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for something to do with my B&W collection. You've inspired me!
ReplyDeleteYou always make the most of bits & scraps. Love how you're using black and white backgrounds. Way more interesting than one or the other.
