Scrap Blocks in green

The new color this month in the Rainbow Scrap challenge is evergreen. I rooted through the green scraps and strings to find a set of darks at least 15" long
a set of lights same length
What fun!

The mary engelbreit print, the big flowers, the vintage dots!

Right near the middle is a scrap of yardage I painted for a border, and it's much more vibrant in person.

Something has gone awry with my camera...

I've told you how I make these in previous posts but you start with two blocks, one light one dark.








And here are the five 20" blocks so far.

I figure I will quilt them then join with black strips.

That should make a great size quilt.

    It has been fun seeing these blocks coming along. Such a great use of scraps, and shows that every green goes with every other green!

    I think your blocks really glow when they're all gathered like that! It just keeps getting better and better!

    Those are looking so pretty together! I'm going to have to try them, seeing as how I never seem to make a dent in my strings!

    Wonderful; so simple, yet so sophisticated, and they look three dimensional.

    Leanne, I've been "nosing" around your blog and love your studio! I want to come (wherever you are) and play! I got so distracted by the studio posts that I almost forgot to come back and leave a note. lol (so very me) These squares are gorgeous. The colors look great together. Thanks for the virtual tour of your studio. I do love seeing into other's creative spaces.

    Very pretty blocks! I just can't do strings--too many other fabric things I already cut and collect in my sewing life!

    Oh, LeeAnna, these are lovely. Isn't it funny that we worry about arranging strings when grouping by color and value makes such a beautiful block? This is the perfect month for this color. New life!
