week 3 - February green rainbow scrap challenge

I made the chaining blocks this week for candy chains. I used any extra green from the other blocks that I had made. I will need more than this when I need to finish the quilt.

For my square dance  quilt, I made 16 patches with 2 inch squares from my bin.

I finished the  square, play. blocks for  rainbow scrap challenge including scraps from flying home quilt I made earlier in the year

All the rows are sewn for soul searching

I had questions about the rolling windmills I am making for the rsc this year. I am happy to show you what I am doing, but, I was inspired by sara (my sewing room)here   

I am using a big scrap bucket of 5 inch scraps I use 2 each of background and focus fabrics all 4 right side up.

I like to use the 1/2 inch squares portion of my cutting mat to make the diagonal cut.1 1/2 inch from the top left to 1 1/2 inch to the right bottom.

 

I still need to check them first.

I sew them together making sure the points extend a little from the bottom piece

I trim them to 4 1/4 inches square. I have chosen to cut off the background and the widest part when I trim. I like the narrower blade part.

 

I lay them out, and I chain sew them together as a set, leaving them attached

I open them, and then join the center seam.

tada
