3 yd Lima

 So I got carried away with this block.   The monthly 3yd quilt pattern for this month is "Lima".  You will find it over at  2024 3YD Quilt Series Sew Along - Material Girlfriends.

The RSC color for April is yellow.  So, multi-task it , I made (24 )- 12 inch blocks cut from the yellow scrap bin. I will add a couple borders to bring it to a twin size for the foster child mission at church.  There should be enough yellow here to bring some sunshine to a child.



After spending an entire day cutting from scraps, I was intrigued to see how quickly it would be cut using strip piecing methods and just 3 fabrics and so this pink one is the result of that experiment.  This one is (20) 9-inch blocks. The dark burgandy print looks brown in the photo.




I'm joining these linky parties this week.  Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

    I love both! The crappy version is bright and beautiful, for sure a little kid will love it too. The pink version is fabulous, and it looks like you had fun strip piecing it! This medium pink you used is very pretty.
    Thank you for sharing these lovely projects!

    Thanks for the link to the 3 yd quilt patterns. But, I'm curious just how much faster was the cutting of the 3 color quilt? Both are very nice. I may try to do one in greens as I was surprised how much green I have in its scrap basket. Thanks for the info.

    Thanks for the link. It’s interesting to see the difference between the scrappy and strip cut versions—each delightful in its own way.

    I like them both -- the "blockiness" of the blocks makes a strong statement. Great scrapbuster.
