Yellow/Orange Scraps

From 2.5 inch scraps...yellow Sprouts, Depression Blocks 

The red/yellow 4 inch Happy blocks are left over from last month's red/yellow scraps that I just got sewn together.  

More four inch Happy blocks and some orange and orange/blue rail fence blocks from postage stamps (1.5  inch scraps) and muslin strips.  I used the yellow postage stamps I had cut last month with the red postage stamps in my Vintage Rail blocks.

Pink 1.5

Pink is the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month so this week I dug into my 1.5 inch pink scraps and made a few 3 inch spools. 

Then I got a little distracted by some scraps laying next to my sewing machine and made a few other spools.  Wish I would have looked at how many spools in total I needed to meet my goal of 766 before I made these instead of after because I am now only 13 SPOOLS away from my goal.  I might not be able to wait until next month to complete 13 more spools. We shall see.  It's nice to know that after about 3 years or so of making a few spools a month from scraps I'm close to a quilt!!

And I made some postage stamp rails.  These blocks will be separated by sashing a la a vintage quilt that inspired me to make these from the itty bittiest of scraps. 

There's one more pink Saturday this month. Grab some pink scraps and join us for

Aqua 1.5

Since the new Rainbow Scrap Challenge color announcement of blue-green/aqua/teal (you get the picture)  I've worked with my 1.5 scraps to make a couple of ten inch postage stamp rail fence blocks...

...and fourteen 3 inch spools.

Purple 1.5 and Purple Crumbs

I made a couple of rail fence blocks from 1.5 postage stamps and muslin strips. I made a couple of these years ago after I saw a vintage quilt made of these plus had plaid sashing. I saved a pic of it somewhere on my computer.  Anyway, I decided to add these as one of my RSC projects so made one with January's blue/purple theme and March's purple/yellow theme. 

Also from 1.5 inch scraps I made a few 3" spools to add to the pile of 600+. 

And then I made a couple of Purple Crumb Butterflies - a rare breed, indeed.
