I am determined this year to make a decent dent in my scrap box and so with this months colour being pink I made a start by pulling out all of the pink scraps that I have.
My main RSC project for the next two years are mini hexagon dresdens which will form the border of my Dresden Quilt so I started by making two of these.
There were some scraps suitable for hexies and so these have been basted and stored with my collection of odd hexies.
There were some pieces that made squares for my Scrap Therapy box and the rest I have made into crumb blocks.
Five and a half 4.5" crumb blocks which I have added to my collection for another Superscrappy quilt at some time in the future. As you can see just a few oddments left which is very satisfying!
Linking up with Angela at Superscrappy/
Lin you made beautiful rosetas and a great use of small pink scraps in your crumbs blocks. well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful border the flower hexie blocks will make for your quilt. It is so satisfying to turn a pile of random scraps into beautiful blocks. Look like you had a productive day!
ReplyDeleteI love your hexie blocks. I have never seen this layout before with the rounded top on the hexie. I look forward to seeing them incorporated into your Dresden quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of the petals in your flowers. They will look great going around your Dresden quilt. Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteNice work on making some sense of the PINK scraps! I really need to make this a priority... one of these years.

ReplyDeleteTruly in the spirit of the early patchworks - ensuring that all scraps found a use!
ReplyDeleteI love your pink crumb blocks, a great RSC idea here! And those hexagon flowers will make a very pretty border on your Dresden quilt.
ReplyDeleteA great use of scraps, and the flowers look so pretty

ReplyDeleteI should make crumb blocks each month and make a quilt later with them.
