5 inch Monkey Wrench blocks
made with 2.5 and 1.5 inch scraps
May is the month to use orange scraps! This week I added to my collections of Monkey Wrench blocks in three different sizes. I've been making them from scraps for almost a year and when it is closer to year end I'll make the blocks into donation quilts. The thing I like about them is that the three sizes use almost every size scrap I come across.
7.5 inch Monkey Wrench blocks
made with 3.5 and 2 inch scraps.
10 inch Monkey Wrench blocks
made with 4.5 and 2.5 inch scraps.
I had been keeping the blocks in a deep flat but...
...I have kind of outgrown the box now. Time to find a new box.
And sew on...
It is so wonderful to see boxes of blocks just waiting to transform into quilts. Love the three sizes of the blocks.
