RSC16 - March - Purple & Yellow


I went digging for purple scraps - where are they???  Well, I forgot that I did my purple blocks in January when it was blue with a touch of purple.  So I only had to do my little yellow ones.  I managed 22  little 9-patches out of my barrel, which is starting to look like it has a dent in it now.



Then came the bitty log cabin blocks.  These don't eat up a lot of scraps, but they are so fun to make.



And adding more to my spools.  The scraps for the spools and cabins came from the little red basket I am trying to empty for the 'scrap challenge' (see side button)...............


  
this is what has been processed into my scrap fabric system after completing the blocks.  3.5", 2.5". 2" and 1.5" squares for the barrels.  There was a piece to go into the yellow FQ tote, and some strips for the string tote.

Sewingly Yours,

What fun seeing all those traditional blocks. Very cute in yellows. I'm glad to have two colors to work with this month...it's going to make it a lot of fun to make a camper.

Lots of very nice yellow projects. At first I did not recognize the spools because I saw the black and tried to figure out which block it was...duh! A very nice contrast there.

Way to go on the scrap processing! I spent last year and the year before completely catching up on my scraps, and I love how easy it is to deal with them once a month now.

What happy sunny blocks! I have so many purple scraps I doubt I will make a dent this month. Thanks for linking to Oh Scrap!

Love your little log cabins. I was wondering if you were making more purple since you had already done purple. hehe. I like spools tool and your scrappy yellow blocks.

Very bright and sunny blocks. Great way to make both challenges work towards your monthly goals.
