Red is the color for April for the rainbow scrap challenge. Red scraps are my second most plentiful scrap bin. Blue is the first.
I made more zipper blocks foursies. I was tickled that all the blocks are sewn into foursies, until I realized, I am making rows 10 x 12. I see some unpicking in my future.
I have slowly been making
sugar grove blocks with yellow centers. I have several baggies made that contain all the hsts for the blocks. There is red used too. That may have to do if I don't get more started for red centers.
I cut and sewed strip sets of
windmills in red. The strips are at least 18 inches long before I cut them into 4 1/2 inch sections. I am using a light gray background.

The sugar grove blocks are really pretty, and so scrappy! Of course I always love the zipper blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love those Sugar Grove blocks. Can't wait to see them all together & the patterns they make in a finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou've done lots with your scraps. Happy stitching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you've been busy with your RED scraps, Maggie. I'm particularly fond of those Sugar Grove blocks. That's going to be a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteLots of scrappy sewing. Love your sugar grove blocks. I made a lot of zipper blocks last year (RSC). I may start sewing them together later this year.
ReplyDeleteI'd never heard the name Sugar Grove Block, before. I'm constantly impressed by how you make and save units, such as HST squares - then turn them into blocks.
ReplyDeleteBoy you sure do have a lot of red scraps! Great progress on your blocks this month. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
