Cheerios
10 inch
Made with 4.5 inch and 2.5 inch scraps
I've been making these blocks from scraps since 2024. It has been one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects. I think near the end of 2025 I divided up the blocks I had made into 4 comfort quilts. I have finished and already donated the two child sized quilts - a green one and a red and yellow one. I have a complete block set of blue, pink and purple blocks that needs to be assembled into a top. And finally I have this one - yellow, orange and brown. I need a few more blocks for a 50 x 70 inch quilt.
Wonky Stars
10.5 inch
Made with 4 inch squares and 3 inch squares cut on diagonals.
Scraps from the 4 inch width and 3 inch width scrap boxes I am trying to empty.
If you follow my blog you know I have been working to empty a box of 4 inch width scraps and have made several tops so far. I now have completed 29 Wonky Stars from the box of 4 inch width scraps and that's all of the scraps in that box that are long enough to make Wonky Stars. From now on I am going to make the Stars from scrap chunks in the RSC color of the month. And then at some future date I will divide the blocks up into different comfort quilts.
And sew on...

Wow! 29 star blocks from your box of scraps. That's really impressive. And both the stars and the Cheerios are very pretty.
How big are the boxes you're trying to empty? Seems that you're working on a couple of them -- and making good progress!
Fun Cheerios! I have a feeling your scraps are like mine-- they seem never ending. I bet when they start to get just a small space in the bin someone gives you more. Happy holiday weekend.
I love the name Cheerios and stars for the quilt
Cheerios is the best name for a kids quilt! I love the stars as well. Such great progress!
Love both your Cheerios and star blocks, Cathy! They both work great for scrappy quilts. I need to put those star blocks on my list, too!
