This week I made a few more HST Four Patches. I had a small bag of black multicolor 4.5 inch width pieces left over from making several different quilts I want to use up. I decided to make these blocks from any pieces long enough. I also have a little box of solid scraps I'm using. I was working on these blocks and a few others in October because the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color was dark neutrals.
Someone sent me a baggie of blue waste triangles. I sorted them into groups of eight matching or similar.
I grabbed a few 4 inch width scraps long enough to cut eight squares for Wonky Star backgrounds. I also found s few four inch blue squares for Star centers. Sixteen blocks will yield a small quilt 42 x 42.
I ironed some of my October leader/enders. Some 2.5 inch HSTS in baggies from previous projects or from others got made and trimmed and then made into Broken Dishes blocks. I have a box of Broken Dishes blocks in many different sizes. Someday when I run out of HST parts I will dig into the box and make some quilts.
More Broken Dishes in different sizes and Wonky QSTs that need dog ears trimmed for my Medallion quilt collection.
More Broken Dishes and a couple of QSTs that were a little wonky for the orphanage.

Terrific blocks built this week. So much fodder in your scrap collection and gatherings from the mailbox :-)
Scrappy goodness to start the month!
Lots of pretty blocks coming together, Cathy;))) Love the colors in those 1/2 sq triangles...nice works hugs, Julierose
Even with a challenge like using up dark neutrals, you manage to make happy blocks. Kudos! I love your HSTs with solid and dark fabric. The yellow fabric with the numbers made me smile. This will turn into another great quilt. I too am making Broken Dish units in an effort to use up leftovers triangles. Enjoy! ;^)
I love seeing what you do with those waste triangles, Cathy! I especially like those star blocks. A good reminder about how little pieces build big quilts!
Love how you don't waste a single scrap. Won't be long before you have a variety of flimsies to share.
Love seeing all your scrappy blocks each week grow! Have a great week.
