New Blocks!

This year, I am hoppin' on the RainbowScrapChallenge!

I came up with a block that utilizes my "odd-strips" bin, as well as my heaping neutrals bin.
I'm thinking I will make two of these each month.

My second one is in-process. I start by making a panel with blue strips trimmed to 1.5", and neutral strips trimmed to 3.5".
The strips are about 18.5" long.

Next, I'll cross-cut the panel into 1.5" strips, and of course, I sew them all back together again.
That is what we do, yes?

 

Well, it isn't quite that simple actually:)
I had to rip a few seams and re-position them to make the 12.5" block.
This whole process created a bunch of leftover scraps that I trimmed to look like this,

I think it will make a nice border!
Perhaps the blocks will look cool set on point.

They are certain to create some fun, design wall time!

Following are the lovely places I am linking this block,

then I am back to the sewing grind!
