RSC 15: Celebrating Red!

Yesterday's Independence Day observation had a major effect on my Rainbow Scrap sewing:  nothing got done!  I had plans for lots of red scrappy stitching yesterday, but life had different plans - good plans, but different!

Fortunately, I was able to sneak in some sewing and photographing this morning, so I'm going ahead with a Rainbow Scrap Challenge post for the first week of the color red.  I've already been drooling over everyone's RSC blocks at this week's linky party, so take a look if you need some scrappy inspiration!

Inspired by my Stars in a Time Warp blocks, I've also been making 4" Sawtooth Stars using modern fabrics.  I've just about used up all the scraps of this yummy chocolate on red novelty print.

These 9 patch variation blocks have quite a timeline of scraps.  Some are new and some are well-aged.  I find it difficult to find good, true reds among the current crop of fabrics on offer.  

That being said, I'm looking forward to playing with my reproduction red scraps this week!
