Scraphappy Saturday - Greens

I managed to get into this months RSC13 challenge - just under the wire.  I kept it simple ......... my 16-patch star block here:



This will go with my collection - one star block every month which should finish into a very nice sized scrappy quilt.

And I made some more crumb blocks.  I must be getting desperate.....beginning to crumb pieces together to get a length long enough to continue around a side.  These blocks finish at 6 inches.  Eventually, I will insert them into other block units  for a quilt design. Ever so much fun, eh !



I have to say my green scraps are still plentiful.  After doing these blocks, I feel more comfortable in tossing out some little bits, sans guilt.  These greens are so old and dull in my stash. I'm ready for some fresh stuff.

This challenge has been a real treat for me - encouragement to dig into those bins and use it up!  I am linking up with  Angela over at  SOSCRAPPY   for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Make a visit to SoScrappy to see all the other great link-ups.

    I just think the star block is just a super idea for a rainbow quilt. Ah, glad to hear another is tossing those oldies - I have been gleening all those tiny saves, too.

    Nice blocks. I feel the same as you it's time to use up those very, very old scraps!

    I love the idea of the 16 patch star block for a rainbow quilt. I can sympathize with wanting to get rid of some of the older dull looking scraps in your stash. I also struggle with it.

    Thanks everyone. That block is sew simple and will make up into the scrappiest quilt when the year is finished. There is a 9-patch version also, but I liked this one because I can float the stars in different positions and it is a hefty 16 inch block.

    I really like your green block with the star! It pops right out!! Neat! I know what you mean about "bits and bobs" of fabric! Mine are so old that they are growing moss (hahaha) on them! Hugs Julierose

    I just love your star in that 16 patch block. If we ever got a month of a plentiful color where I have time I may just make a very scrappy one color quilt with your pattern. Thanks for the idea.

    Love the 16P star block. Will make a wonderful rainbow quilt. I'm where you are with small, old, dull crumb scraps. Rather toss them than deal with them.
