Yellow 2.5 Inch Scraps (and Then Some)

Wild Ladies of the Lake

10 inch blocks

This week I pulled out the yellow 2.5 inch scraps. There wasn't much to work with but I did manage to make a few blocks. 

Eight inch Depression Block and 12 inch Ship Block

I found my pile of eight inch Depression Blocks I have made over the years with my 2.5 inch scraps.  I forgot about them because I didn't put them in the box with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects.  It looks like I have about 58 (now 59) of them.   I want a big quilt out of them so need about double that amount. 

Garden patchwork of yellow flowers. 

Snapdragons, pansies, tomato blossoms, roses, day lilies, oriental lilies, roses, dutchman's pipe.

 WARNING: Dutchman's pipe is invasive around here. Gosh...I spend a lot of time pulling this vine out of my flower gardens. 

When it's not too hot or too rainy but when it's just right I work out in the gardens.

Green 2.5 Scrap Addition And Then Some

With 2.5 inch green scraps I made some six inch Plus blocks...

...some ten inch Lady of the Lake blocks (six inch centers are from green scrap chunks and HSTs from 2.5 scraps)...

...and a  twelve inch ship with green sails. 

And then I went back to the green scrap chunks and made some improv circles.  Actually these are made from more than green scrap chunks...I've been using red and brown as my constants with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month.  

I'm not the only one using green scraps this month. You'll see when you visit ScrapHappy Saturday and read all about it. 

I still have 4.5 inch green scraps and some waste triangles to play with for next week. 

Multicolor 2.5 Scrap Edition

We are supposed to use our multicolor scraps this month in our Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects so this week I dug into the 2.5 inch multicolor scraps.   I made a couple of pretty wild 10 inch Lady of the Lake blocks. 

I made a couple of 12 inch ship blocks with multicolor sails.  Looks like the one on the left is sailing in windy seas but the two ships pretty much take up the makeshift area where I take photos on an old cutting mat covered with batting.     The one on the right is going to go into a baby quilt for a family member since there seems to always be some niece  pregnant these days.   (We have 31 nieces and nephews not counting their spouses).   The rainbow sails boat will go into a donation quilt with some other nautical themed orphans and crumbs and scraps. 

I also made some multicolor four inch four patches to throw into the 4 inch block box. 

And also to be thrown into the 4 inch block pile - some multicolor Happy Blocks plus a couple more four patches that didn't fit in the previous photo.

Red 2.5 Scrap Edition

Red 2.5 inch  scraps were used in three 10 inch Lady of the Lake...

...one 12 inch sail boat, one 8 inch Depression Block, fifteen Flying Geese...

...three Sprouts (I may have enough of these for a quilt now since I've been making them with my scraps for a couple of years now)...

...six 4 inch Little Happies (I have a bunch of miscellaneous 4 inch blocks)...

...and six 6 inch Plus Blocks which are new to the list since I had a bunch of red 2.5 scraps left over.
