I have three sets of blocks going for the Rainbow Scrap challenge. This month the color is GREEN so I made some green chandelier blocks this week. The free pattern came from Stitch Therapy and the block size is 6" finished. I probably have more green scraps than others, but while digging through the three little bins this week, I realized a lot of them are dark, or grayed out. Maybe I've culled out the brighter clearer greens over the years. This pattern calls for small pieces which is nice, for a mix of pattern, tone, and availability. If possible I try to cut something close to the size I need, so stingy with fabric when I have so much! It's just when you see a cute pattern like the cow or light bulbs, you hate to cut into a big usable piece to get a 2" or 3 1/2" piece. Still... a quilt needs cuteness. It needs to sing! I'm using up scraps, plus scraps from the beige/white bin. It's finally getting small enough to close the lid! After the Valentine quilt and two of the RSC blocks this time! Kind of nice to whittle it down a bit. I mean one doesn't want to use up anything totally, right? In case that fabric would be perfect for the next landscape, or gemstone, or whatever! So when done, I pulled out the red, and yellow blocks and put them up to see how it might go together. Crikey! Now I see I'll have to make some decisions... keep colors together in lines? or Mix them up? Get a bigger design wall? I hope this turns into an actual bed quilt to use in summer and we have a King mattress. I've never paid a long arm quilter but because this is set on point, I am not sure if I want to quilt it myself in sections... which will be yet another decision to make. linking to Esther's blog Wednesdays Midweek makers wednesdays design wall Mondays at smallquiltsanddollquilts lovelaughquilt.mondays oh Scrap Sundays scrap happy Saturdays sewcanshe Saturdays
