It's time for a new color for the rainbow scrap challenge, so, I went digging in my 2 1/2 inch bag for small pieces that I could turn into tulip swirl blocks. I want to use black and gray this month. I tend to skip these colors in my rsc projects, so these scraps are buried in the deep recesses. But, I won't give up the fight.
I think for the new year, I will concentrate on finishing the rainbow scrap challenge unfinished quilts. I have plenty to keep me busy. I just like making blocks and don't really finish them. It's time to change that.
I only needed 2 more square play blocks to finish for the year. I still need to make the 2 1/2 inch squares frame.
I still like making crackers and jam blocks. It's amazing how many little scraps I am finding while trying to clean up my sewing area. I may get tired of the eventually.
It won't be a month of colorful pictures. so... 1 orange

Great progress. I love those cracker and jam blocks! I may have to make a few to help whittle down my stash.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to do any Crackers & Jam blocks in black, but your are so cute. I've changed my mind. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love what you are doing with your scraps. I wish I could make such progress!
ReplyDeleteYou have some fun projects to work on, especially Crackers & Jam. I'm concentrating on UFOs/RSC blocks this year, so far so good. You can do it too!
ReplyDeleteYou have some pretty black prints to use this month, Maggie! They work well in all of your blocks.
ReplyDeletehave fun with the black and white!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, it's so nice to sit and stitch a few blocks each months in different colours, but then we have to do something with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you--I tend to skip the neutrals and end up with a bunch of them leftover! I do so love your tulip swirl blocks, Maggie!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to add in colors like black, gray and brown during RSC, but those neutrals can really make the color blocks shine. You've got a good start on those blocks for this month.
ReplyDeleteYou have some pretty black and gray strips here! For sure the orange block really stands out! Thank you for sharing and linking up.
ReplyDeleteYay for scrappy fun! Love the blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on your projects, Maggie. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
