Crossroads
7 x 9
Made with 3.5 x 4.5 inch rectangles cut from either 3.5 or 4.5 inch width scraps that are long enough. All have brown 1.5 inch width brown washing with red square centers.
I started with purple scraps because that is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month. Then I sewed together the orange blocks I cut last month.
Then I sewed together other colors I have cut while scrap processing.
I have been making these for awhile and probably have enough now for at least a couple of comfort quilts. I will keep making them from scraps until year end and then put them together into tops.
Buckeye Beauty
8 inch
Made with 2.5 and 4.5 inch width scraps.
I first worked with the orange pieces I cut last month but never got sewn together.
Then I worked with the purple scraps to make blocks.
Bricks and Stones
2.5 x 4 inch bricks and 2.5 inch square black stones.
I cut smaller lengths of 2.5 inch width scraps into various lengths.
2.5 x 5 for future "Charm Tuesday". It's a free pattern.
2.5 x 1.5 rectangles for Potato Chip blocks. 2.5 x 3.5 inch rectangles for a quilt I have in mind of just rectangles. 2.5 inch squares for who knows what.
And sew on...

Lovely WIPS, Cathy; I really like the Crossroads blocks--I may have to try some of those...
hugs for a good weekend--raining here AGAIN!! Julierose
Lots of scrappy fun - love those Buckeye blocks for sure!!
Love all the perfect purple blocks! :)
Such fabulous purple fun going on at your house!
That's a LOT of sewing! Love the pineapple on purple and many other prints. Other quilters' scrap always look more fun than mine. Charm Tuesday looks like something I could kit for a baby quilt. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on that one. Enjoy! ;^)
You have made a lot of progress. I love to see your thought process while making different projects. My goal is to get there (after I get my UFOs done!LOL). You manage your scraps well.
Love those crossroad blocks! Thanks for sharing and the inspiration!
Both you and Nancy are tempting me with those crossroad blocks . . . Glad you've come up with a workaround to post to your blog while you wait for the new computer.
Really love those Buckeye Beauty blocks. Lots of pretty purple in your post!
I love that crossroads block! I’m cutting up some scraps to make some myself.
The red centers are perfect for that block.
