Monkey Wrenches in Green

I've been making Monkey Wrench blocks from scraps in three different sizes since last year. I have quite a collection now but have not counted them yet.  Toward the end of the year I'll make them into donation quilts. 

A few green 10 inch finished Monkey Wrenches. 

A couple more 10 inch green Wrenches and some 7.5 inch finished Wrenches. 

A few more 7.5 inch Wrenches. 

Then when I was finished using up the 3.5 and 4.5 green scraps in the general population of scraps I made some Monkey Wrenches out of green '30s reproduction scraps kept separately from the general population.  (This month the theme in my sewing space is 1930s.) I'm thinking I will use all of the Monkey Wrenches in different sizes that I make out of '30s reproductions in one quilt.

I have more HSTs made in '30s scraps in other colors besides green but I have not gotten around to getting those made into Wrenches yet. 


And sew on...

I'm always impress set aside a certain amount of time each day to piece and quilt?

Love your selection of green blocks. Do you plan to use them together in the one quilt or mix with other RSC blocks?
