using my scraps

In this month's color... pink!


This is the last Saturday for Pink at RSC.
I took on a new project, again from Stitchin' therapy. She calls it lattice and uses the sweetest watercolor floral effect in hers.

some quite old fabrics. I love the white with bright flowers one! That's all I had left too!

I decided to do the rainbow scrap challenge colors for mine but use florals when I had them in the scrap bins.
with a few more colors

You need a 5" square, and a 1-1/2" wide by 8" long strip, to make a block. Easy and addictive. Great way to use a lot of leftover strips and squares.
that tulip one was from my first Benartex challenge quilt that traveled for a year (1996?)

Now my blocks are too high contrast I think, but still they are using colors and adding up. I have about 90 made and you need 252 for a queen size. I plan to make them til I'm tired of it and quilt it in sections with basic machine quilting. I need a cute not too bright bed quilt for summer.
what a variety of prints! Blue with blue, yellow with yellow, pink with pink....
94 blocks done!

    I LOVE those blocks! Your colors are perfect!! It’s a popular design right now (one of McCall’s quilt magazines had a quilt with this block design in it this month). It’s now on my list. Thanks, I think... xo

    Very nice! I really like the way the lattice blocks lay out and all the colors play together nicely. Good job!

    You've been busy! I've started several projects from Debbie's watercolor designs. Now I just have to finish some of them. Heating up again here so it's too hot in my studio to sew.

    This is so pretty and I love the way your colours are working out, especially the addition of those florals, and there's not at all too much contrast for my taste.

    Looks like a great scrap buster, might have to give this squirrel a try.

    Hi LeeAnna! What a beauty and it sure didn't take you long to make those 90 squares. Before you know it you'll have enough for a queen sized quilt! And what a great use of scraps. ~smile~ Roseanne

    I'm getting back to blogging my own domain now and trying to remember who I used to connect with!
    Was the color pink with a blog that chooses a color each month to make with scraps? For the life of me, I can't remember what that blog was called.

    What a great block for using up scraps. I have lots of florals left even after my recent attempt to use them so maybe this is the block to use some more. I like how it transitions in colors. What size is the finished block after the strip is inserted?

    Love, love, love it! Florals, scrappy and a cool design- what is not to love?
