Green Saturday

I have been working hard on my Green scraps, I just have not been good about Blogging about it. The first week I got 9 of these 6 1/2" blocks done. they use 2" squares. I had some 2" square cut and left over but trimmed up a few more so I had good variety. 

See how much is tided up. I have more green scraps then any other colour. Most of the time I have Lime sorted out, but this month I have some mixed in. I love green!

I got 27 pinwheels done. So now I have enough to make a little quilt. Last winter I started to make pinwheels but last year I did not get to my green. 

I have started to sew it all together. It will be so cute. a perfect baby gift. 

I have added this post to the link up on Socrappy as it is part of the Rainbow scrap challenge 2019.

Yellow Talking Turkey blocks

Yellow is the colour for the month of February with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019. 

I had many parts done for these blocks and now have them together. Not sure if I really want 5 yellow blocks in this quilt or not. I have no idea how many blocks I want in total.  

Talking Turkey is block from Bonnie Hunter's String Fling quilt book. 

So far I have 4 colour each with 5 blocks done. I know I need green for sure. Maybe more colours. I am worried that 5 blocks of each colour and How many colours could be to many blocks. These blocks are a bit bigger, like 14" or so. Maybe I am on my way to 2 smaller quilts. Not sure. 

I have added this post to Soscrappy and the link party. 

Yellow 16 patches

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019 is well under way. I have slowly been working on some yellow scraps. I do not have tons of yellow or do I have too many wholes in the blocks that yellow is needed. I needed these yellow 16 patches made using 2" squares. I have a few yellows that are almost brown. But they work in these little blocks. 

I am planning to use some of these 16 patches mixed in with 6 1/2" sampler blocks. See how I can move from one colour to the next. I have not worked out all the design questions but here is a sample of what I am planning. 

I needed blue 16 patch blocks and I know it is not blue this month, but I had it out. So I got them made. Part of my catching up on missing blocks. Maybe it will help me get some quilt tops done. 

Here is the green sampler blocks and the yellow 16 and Blue 16 patches mixed together. They look good together. 

I am a day late but I am adding this to the link up on Soscrappy and the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019.  

Red String Blocks

The Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2019 is working on your Red scraps this month. My reds are in good shape, sorted, many blocks made last year. But I did not get my Red string blocks done till this Saturday. I got 14 half red blocks done. Some Lime and Purples were done to those are done ready to be trimmed. 

Then I had computer trouble. My editing program is not working well. I could not resize my photos. Well today I got it partly done but with a different program. Not really happy with what I used. So I am still in the hunt for a good program that is easy and quick to use. 

Here is one block ready for another colour on the other half. There are Chickens and Cherries prints. 

More Red is over at Socrappy. So many ideas for scrap quilts. Check it out. This looks to be the last Saturday of Jan so Feb will have a new colour, looks like that might be Yellow. 

So it it Monday I will also join the Design Wall Monday over at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts. 

Red Scraps

The Design Wall this week

For many years I have followed along with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. 

This year I will be doing more scrap sewing again. 

RSC 2019 here we come!

6 1/2" blocks made with 2" squares

I have done 9 - 16 patches. I had some done but they had one square a different colour. I have decided that I wanted some full red. I have a few colours out of control but red is in good shape. I already had all the red 2" squares cut and ready to go. So easy this week.

 Next up in red should be some string blocks. 

 16 blocks 4 1/2" Pin wheels in Blue

Last year I had trouble with my blue scraps. Way out of control. It took me most of the month just to trim and cut and sort the boxes of blue. So I did not get these sewn together. So this year I need to do some other colours now and then, like Blue and Green. 

Also I have to work towards getting tops and quilts done. You might see me working on odd colours or the tops and quilting. I am hopping for more finishing this year. There are some quilt shows to enter. I also only quilted 2 of my own quilts this past year. 

These Red blocks are from Canada's 150 Women blocks. My mom, Betty and I are working on the blocks together. I am way behind. Only 25 block of my 75 done. So here are 4 more blocks, 6" square.
