Blue Scraps Part III

Square in Square

3 inch blocks.

The centers are 2.5 inch squares. The sides are two 2.5 inch squares cut on the diagonal.  I think I forgot I was using white on black for the background and not black on white when I made this batch.  But it's all good.  (I'm also making a larger version of these blocks and those use the black and white backgrounds.)

These 8 patches are made with 2.5 x 3.5 rectangles.  So if a 2.5 or 3.5 width scrap is large enough for four rectangles it gets made into these blocks. And these blocks will get made into donation quilts at the end of the year.  That little coin strip off on the right side was made from any scraps left over that was less than a 3.5 inch square. 

Some of the 3.5 inch squares were made into Snowballs with light corners.  I have a lot of little 3 inch (finished) Nine Patches that will alternate with little Snowballs. 

If I had enough of a 3.5 inch scrap (6 inches) to cut four 1.5 inch pieces then I made some Switch Plate blocks. 

Bear Paws

6 inch finished.

With 2.5 inch scraps I make four HSTs (cut with Easy Angle ruler). I usually go to my squares box and pull out 4.5 inch squares to make the rest of the Paw. Looks like one Bear Paw needs surgery. These too will get made into donation quilts at year end. 

Windmills

8 inch blocks

The windmills can be made with 2.5 or 4.5 inch width scraps. There just needs to be enough of the scraps for four 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangles.
