scrap bag blocks

I found another scrap bag, during a new year push to clean the sewing area. It was a wonderful assortment of brights. I decided to start right away with an improv block that I liked on the internet. It was green and the rainbow color for January is green. I was hoping to use the scraps until they were gone, but it might take longer than I thought.


I am using a charm pack for the center. I have just cut willy nilly to create the strings. I am aiming for at least an 8 inch square.


It's a fun sort of way to make the block. I have no idea how many blocks I will be able to make, but I will worry about that when I get there. These are not trimmed, yet, or pressed.

    That's a fun block! I like the white centers with the strings you're using.

    These fabrics are so bright and cheery . . . a great thing to be working on while the skies are grey and cold outside :) It's going to be so pretty. Looking forward to seeing how you are going to join your blocks.
    Happy Quilting!

    I've discovered that scraps can go a long way, making more quilts than you think possible - good luck with yours!
