Sixteen Patch
6 inch blocks
I now have 99 out of a goal of 120 blocks or 130 blocks if there's enough scraps for that many.
I started making these last year (or was it year before?) to use up a lot of 2 inch width strips as well as a little pile of chunks of green. So I've been making them a few each month with scraps in the color of the month alternating with greens.
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for February is blue. I have a lot of blue scraps to use this month. I actually use scraps to make my RSC blocks and usually have blocks going for any width size scrap I come across. I have a few folks who share their scraps with me and when I receive them I usually sort them by width size if smaller scraps that are less than a fat quarter. If larger than a fat quarter they are sorted by color and put with yardage of same color. This week I worked mostly with scraps in a bin of 2 inch width scraps.
Going where the scraps take me!

REMEMBER, TREASURE, GROW, READ (my words of the year)
I received a box of treasure yesterday from Sherron. It was full of some of some orphan blocks and fabric. I have to say most of the orphan blocks are hand appliqued and very beautiful. Won't they make some gorgeous comfort quilts!

I have that green print in my scrap too, top left in the first photo, or the second photo, haha. So many beautiful scraps. Enjoy! ;^)
I have so many squares pre-cut in my boxes I need to set a box out on the table and start sewing some blocks from time to time
These are so pretty - I like this color combo!
Blue and green are such a pretty combination! They are great in your 16 patches. You're the scrap guru, Cathy!
So many little squares that turn into blue scrappy goodness!
Such a lively assortment!
