This month's Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month is green - sage and forest. I have been making a lot of different blocks with scraps in the color of the month so I'm using all greens this month and just completing some of the blocks. I'll make the rest of the green blocks when the light and bright green month rolls around.
Bear Paw
6 inches finished
I cut the HSTs with an Easy Angle ruler and use 2.5 inch scraps. I use 4.5 inch squares from the bin of squares.
I just started making these blocks. I've seen them called Windmills and St. Bridget's Cross. I started making them because the pieces can be cut from either 2.5 inch or 4.5 inch scraps as long as the scrap is long enough for four pieces. They finish at 8 inches so 35 of them will make a nice kiddo sized donation quilt.
I've been making 12 inch finished Wonky Logs with my strings. I've been using some novelty squares with black backgrounds for the centers.
You seem to always have just the right scraps for these projects, way to go!
ReplyDeleteA nice assortment of green blocks! I'm making the cross blocks -- I'm calling them spinners -- for my 2022 RSC units.
ReplyDeleteLove all your green block ideas, especially the Bear Paws.
ReplyDeleteI love the way your mind works. I also choose certain patterns or blocks because it will use just the right size of scraps. So many great blocks and still another week in May.
ReplyDeleteOooo! Adding Spinners to my ever-growing list...
ReplyDeleteLovely GREEN additions to those block collections, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteGreat green scraps all around! Right now I'm really enjoying rectangles, partly because I can cut them from 2 different sizes of strips. I have an old quilt in the Windmills pattern, with fabrics from the 1930s through the 1960s.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, looks like you had a lot of fun making them.
ReplyDeleteSo prodigious. I'm impressed you are able to make not just a variety of blocks, but multiples in each category.
