Singing The Blues - Verse 3

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!

6 inch finished
Using 2 inch width scraps in RSC color and one other plus neutral scraps. 


And sew on...

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 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

Blue and green are such a pretty combination! They are great in your 16 patches. You're the scrap guru, Cathy!
