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!
The way you use your small scraps reminds me of the song about the ant and the rubber tree plant! That is meant to be a compliment! LOL You manage to make something beautiful and useful out of the tiniest of scraps and then give it away to comfort someone which is very valuable to those who need comfort. I thank you for what you do.
I don't think they'll ever be an end to scraps, a color maybe but never scraps mine has went from ziplock bags to totes 🤣 your blocks look great!
"Going where the scraps take me". LOve it!!!
I made Easy Breezy blocks several RSCs ago. There's a pile of them somewhere! Lol!
