Scrap Processing: Multicolor on Black

The other day I finished a block set of 8 inch finished HSTs made with multicolor on black and solid scrap chunks.  I cut 4.5 inch strips from the scrap chunks to make my HSTs that I cut with my Easy Angle ruler.   After I completed my block set I had a lot of 4.5 inch pieces left over so I used them for other projects. 

1. Above - I cut 35 -4.5 x 8.5 rectangles.  I will add 2.5 x 8.5 inch rectangles (maybe red?) to each of the longest sides.  That will give me 35-8 inch finished Basket Weave blocks for a quilt kiddo quilt 40 x 53 inches. 

2. I cut 70 - 4.5 inch squares of both the multicolor and solid scraps. I will alternate multicolor and solids in a quilt 10 across and 14 down (40 x 56 inches.)

3> From the rest of the multicolor scraps I cut 2.5 inch squares.  Earlier in the year I emptied a box of 4 inch width scraps and one of the last things I did with the pieces in that box was cut rectangles 4 x 2.5 for a bricks and stones quilt with black multicolor for the stones.  I still need more bricks and more stones cut to complete this quilt but I can sew together what I do have cut as a leader/ender.  

And now I have emptied my baggie of leftovers from making the HST Four Patch blocks.

And sew on...
