I am really behind in my Rainbow Scrappy Challenge reporting. I have been slowly sewing in the background.
Making four patches should be easy but I had to do a bit of unpicking. I had made two scrappy checkerboard (four patch) borders for another quilt last year, then decided they looked odd and made the quilt the wrong size. So I am now repurposing the pieces for RSC.
I had made one star, but no nine patches. so had to forage a bit more for some variety of fabrics.
I really want more red stars, but I have run out of cut neutral triangles and variety in the red triangles, so two will sufficience until I have more scraps to cut up.
Hence a new block ;) Well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!
Happy quilting Sue.
Love, love, LOVE your scrappy RED stars!! It will be fun seeing what you do with April's MULTICOLORED scraps.
ReplyDeleteI have a pattern lined up for a spool quilt I want to make - but I also have quite a few things I need to finish first. Yours looks really cute and tempting, though!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty reds! I especially like your star blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love your stars, too! And the spool idea is awesome - worth copying for sure (wink)!!
