Waffles

Yesterday I finished fifty-one 6 inch Waffle Blocks. 

It all started because awhile ago someone gave me eleven 6 inch Waffle Blocks. 

And the other day I sorted a very large men size 13 shoebox of 1.5 inch width scraps and...

...a small box of of about the same size of 1.5 inch width scraps into different categories and widths. I'm hoping this month to greatly reduce and maybe even empty those two boxes of 1.5 inch scraps - most given to me over the last year by different folks. (Thank you, all!) I actually measure the width of most small scraps I receive. 

So, anyway, now I have bags in boxes so now I can start emptying bags. And then before you know it I'll have empty boxes! 

I just emptied a bag of long solid scraps making those 51 Waffle blocks. I cut what was not long enough for three strips for Waffles into 1.5 x 5.5 and 1.5 x 2.5 inch rectangles and 1.5 inch squares. Those will now join others of the same size. 

And now that I have 62 Waffle Blocks I decided to make a twin sized comfort quilt with either 120 or 130 blocks.  I'm now making this a Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) project. I have a litttle box of solid scrap chunks in all colors so each month will cut a 1.5 inch piece off of the scraps in the color of the month and make more blocks.  I might even empty a bag of 1.5 inch squares (postage stamps) in the process. 

And now I have emptied a bag. 

WITB (What's in the Box, Bin, Bag) is the theme in my sewing space for the month of March. I'm wondering how many boxes, bins and bags I can empty.  

I'm keeping score:

Boxes:

1- Coins

Bags:

1 - Kaleidoscope

2  - solid 1.5 inch strips for 51 Waffles

I'll also be working with yellow scraps this month because that is the March Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color. 

And I don't always follow the challenges issued by the Scrapbuster group but this month the challenge is 1.5 inch scraps. I have some of those! 

And sew on...
