It's A Flimsy! Buckeye Beauty


Buckeye Beauty
60 x 78
It's a flimsy!

A few years ago I started making several different blocks that used 3.5 and 2 inch pieces. I cut those width pieces from a scrap "chunk" in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month and then used those scraps in several different quilt blocks. Buckeye Beauty is one of those blocks. 

For these blocks I combined scraps in the RSC color with shirts from the thrift store or black multicolor scraps or red multicolor scraps.   The blocks finish at six inches. 

And sew on...

  13. This is one of my favorite blocks, both to make and to look at. These are 6" blocks? I've never seen that setting before on the diagonal for this block. Great finish!
