This week had alot of commitments scheduled and so I only had Friday to sew with the yellow scraps. I made 2 granny square blocks. I had to select and cut the units first which takes time when you're trying to create a pleasing contrast.
There is something about this block in that no matter how I approach the assembly, I always get lost. My best way seems to be laying out the entire block and sewing the diagonal rows. I try to keep with the chain sewing and somewhere along the way, I have to unpick units. I love the look of this block but it is not one I will be making alot of. I think I have 7 now ... not enough to make up a quilt yet.

My goodness it does take some time to cut your chips from the scrapbins..... much longer than it took to sew them together. Following along with Soscrappys Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC), I cut from the yellow and purple bins. What a treat to get the colors for Aug and Sept and look how these two colors play so well together.
This lil quilt is made from 2-1/2 x 4-1/2 " chips. I only made 4 blocks. I hope to finish it up this week. Looking up close, I really didnt like it and tried to analyze what I didnt like about it. Was there too many different fabrics or were there too many light, med and darks? Maybe the yellows should have been a softer tone or just one or two fabrics.? Maybe the purples should just be med and darks? If I stand back far enough, I like it.
