Aqua Scraps Part I



Boo Boo  Patches
3 x 6 inch finished

I now have finally met my goal of 260 blocks for a 20 x 13 layout and a 60 x 78 quilt. 
I named them Boo Boo Patches because when I first started making them in 2023  I made some strip sets from 1.5 inch width scraps and intended to cut the strip sets into 2.5 inch pieces but made a big mistake (Boo Boo) and cut them into 1.5 inch pieces. Well I just went with the flow and have been making these Boo Boo Patches ever since. 

Aqua is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color for the month of August. I don't think I have many scraps in that color but I do have several small chunks in a project box with some red and purple chunks that I set aside to make more Rolling Stone blocks so maybe after I finish up with my few aqua scraps I will work on my Rolling Stone UFO and make some aqua scraps. 

Buckeye Beauty
8 inch
My goal is 80 blocks for a 8 x 10 layout and a 64 x 80 quilt. 
I now have 63 blocks. 


I made a few blue ones too. 



Potato  Chip
6 inch block
My goal is 70 blocks and I now have 21. 

When I am processing scraps I cut 1.5 x 2.5 rectangles for these and put them in the project box. Every once in awhile I look to see if there are 12 rectangles of any color and will pull them out to make a  lock in the color of the month or if I need some leader enders. 

And sew on...

Boo Boo Patches will be an interesting quilt, I think. Love all your Buckeye Beauty blocks. I cut pieces at 1.5 X 2.5 too. We're having cooler temp now, I hope you do too. Enjoy! ;^)

Boo Boo patches. They remind me of my 2024 RSC zipper blocks. I’m anxious to see all those together.

Wow! 260 blocks done! And without missing a beat you are just 17 shy of your goal of 80 for the next quilt. So impressive.
