Full disclosure - these blocks are very small; it's not like piecing a 12" block. Right now they're unfinished 2-1/2" squares.
These are the blocks for my first ever Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Each month for 10 months we make one or more blocks of our own choosing from scraps of a designated color. I'm really excited to finish this one, so hopefully I can have a completed quilt to show soon.
I'm working on a tutorial for making a ton of these little blocks very quickly. Sadly, it was sometime during month 8 that I figured out how to cut out 80 of these in about a half hour. That's compared to the first color I worked on, which took me 3 or 4 evenings - working a few hours each night! So if you have a lot of smaller scraps you'd like to use up, this might be a scrappy quilt to consider making.
I should have the tutorial with my super speedy method for cutting the pieces for a bow tie block posted sometime this week.
Linking up with the RSC16 ScrapHappy Saturday.
It looks awesome all neatly placed in a box. Can't wait to see the layout. ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh!! Looking forward to reading about your speed cutting (AND seeing the quilt top when it's been put together!!)
ReplyDeleteOh my, I am impressed. I don't like to do small. I would be interested in your tutorial. Sounds interesting.
