Buckeye Beauty Blocks
8 inch finished
Green is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month.
This week I made Buckeye Beauty blocks. First I dug into my 2.5 inch width scrap bin and pulled out all of the pieces that were long enough to make into a Four Patch. Then from green and neutral scrap chunks I cut and made HSTs. Then the blocks were assembled.
If I make a few more blocks I will have enough for an all green/neutral comfort quilt. Or these can be the start of another collection of blocks in all colors to be made at year end into comfort quilts. If I go that route then I need to catch up on making Buckeye Beauty blocks in all of this year's previously called RSC colors.
And sew on...

Do you remember that earlier this year I participated in the 2025 Stay At Home Round Robin (SAHRR)? I made 5 kiddo sized row quilt tops. Well, I won one of the prizes and it arrived yesterday!
Can you believe it? A smart iron. Who knew?

Congrats on your SAHRR win! Great prize! Aren't Buckeye Beauty blocks addictive to make? I love them.
Love how these Buckeye Beauty blocks come together--so neat!!
Nice work on this WIP Cathy!! Congratulations on your win--what a lovely present!!
Hugs, Julierose
congratulations on winning the iron - I have a small iron something like that but it is not a "smart" one. I'm finally getting used to holding it - I'm not used to holding on to a small one and I need a never grip of my hand on it.
Wow! That's an awesome prize to win. Congrats! A smart phone, a smart watch, a smart fridge, a smart home, a smart iron; everything is smart now a days, except politicians. LOL. And your Buckeye Beauties, they look smart too. Enjoy! ;^)
Love your Buckeye Beauty blocks. And congrats on the iron. My hubby bought me one a couple years ago for my arthritic hands so that I don't have to lift & stand it up. I totally LOVE IT! It's so great to use. Hope you love it as much I do!
Love these!!! and I am joining you!!! Love these blocks
Since Buckeye Beauty is also Jewel Box you could call these emeralds....or jade. Congratulations on your SAHRR prize. (I won, too, but haven't gotten it yet.)
I love your Buckeye Beauty blocks in all the greens! So pretty and refreshing, Cathy. Congratulations on your SAHRR win, too! I did not know that an iron could be "smart" either, lol! You'll have to keep us updated on what it does smartly.
Lime you, I've got no idea what a smart ifon does. But I bet you've found out by now, do tell
What a great prize! Have you tried it out on those four patch parts and hsts? Very pretty buckeye beauty blocks.
Good for you scoring a win with the Oliso iron - I have one and been very happy with it. Love your greens!
Your blocks are beautiful as always. Congratulations on winning the iron. I am looking forward to getting a review. I am still using cheap irons. LOL
I call your Buckeye block Jacob's Ladder. I love that block. Maybe I should make it my signature block...
