Rail Fence
4.5 inch finished.
Green is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for the month of May.
I decided to look at my bin of 2 inch width scraps which mostly contains short lengths of scraps. Last month I started making these Rail Fence blocks with black centers from the longer scraps at least 10 inches long so I could cut two rails. So now with lastt month's red blocks I have 36 blocks. At this point I am just going to make blocks with the longer scraps in the bin and decide how many I need for a quilt later. My main goal is to empty the 2 inch width scrap bin.
Easy Breezy
6 inch blocks
I now have 42 toward a goal of 120 or 130
This is another block I started making a few months ago. I have a little bag of sets of four 2 inch squares I'm using for these as well as any 2 inch width scraps 8 inches or so in length.
Buckeye Beauty blocks
6 inch finished
These blocks are new this month. I first made four patches from 2 inch squares in green plus black scraps. These were cut from 2 inch scraps at least 4 inches in length for two identical squares. Then I made green and black HSTs from green scraps - some came from the 3.5 inch scrap bin and some were cut from scrap chunks. Two HSTs and two Four Patches combined to make Buckeye Beauty blocks.
All blocks will have color of month alternating with black scraps.
25 Patch
7.5 inch finished
Another new block this month is a 25 patch made with 2 inch squares.
Hopefully all of these blocks using various lengths of 2 inch scraps will empty out my 2 inch width scrap bin.
Boo Boo Patches
3 x 6
I now have 204 blocks toward my goal of 260 blocks.
These came out of the 1.5 inch width scrap bin. I've been making them for a long time. Maybe this year I will reach my goal.
And sew on...

You've done a great job using those scraps already this month!!
Wow, a dizzying amount of scraps and blocks! All of them are lovely and creative, as usual!
do you cut all your fabric with a rotary cutter or do you have a accuquilt or something like it to cut. You make so many I was wondering
You are sew cute and creative! :)
"Hopefully empty out my 2 inch width scrap bin" until it is filled again! I love it! So many great blocks and future quilts 😀
I like how you've made the parts for your Buckeye Beauty blocks over time, and now you're putting the larger blocks together! They're going to make a beautiful quilt!
You are hard to keep up with, and surely the most prolific quilter I've ever met on blogland. I enjoy seeing you whip up all these many blocks each week, you are a wonder indeed.
I'm with Jenny here. It's only the third of the month and you have already more than I will in the entire month, lol. You rock, girl. So many lovely prints in these blocks that it took me forever to check them all, haha. Enjoy! ;^)
Busy bee you are! lol Love all your blocks. It's such a great way using scraps. Way to go!
You really make this look easy while also looking hard. I am impressed at how much you get done. I love all of them. I am also looking forward to seeing your flower beds. So exciting. I will have to plan to try something like that next year.
Just lovely green projects you have going on there, Cathy!! Have fun adding to them all this month. I am working on some little pink, scrappy corner baskets and will put them on a green background...
What fun...hugs, Julierose;)))
I’m so inspired by all the blocks in this post and the fact that they’re adaptable to different scrap sizes! I added a shortcut to this post on my phone’s homescreen to be able to come back to it for inspiration.
