| Working on the red & pink fabric drawer |
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for March is red. I generally prefer using clear reds as much as possible for my RSC projects, and I found a lot of brownish red and maroon in the scrap bin. That meant I needed to sort through the red yardage for some "new" scraps. Sorting was a fun project, as the drawer of red and pink fabric has not been straightened in some time.
After cutting some new scrappy 2 inch strips, I was able to assemble 2 Windblown Wishes blocks. It was good to go digging through the red yardage and scraps; some of the fabric bits still floating around my stash are from my earliest days as a quilter!
Linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge party and enjoying everyone's red inspiration...
Quite productive for coming off the tail end of a case of the flu!! SEW glad to see that you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better--your blocks are so fun--love all the scrappy reds!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a while to get over the flu - take it easy as much as you can. Understand what you mean about clear reds (they are my favorites, too). There are a lot of not-clear reds in my scraps . . .
ReplyDeletePretty reds! That block is a great venue for scrappy colors.
ReplyDeleteHope you continue to feel better and better!
Your blocks are beautiful with these reds !
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better...not fun !
Beautiful blocks! Glad to hear you are on the mend!
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks--feel better!
ReplyDeleteWorking on red blocks should make you feel better. They look great.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great block - I don't know that I've seen it before, but it certainly adapts to the scrappy look well!
ReplyDeleterecovering from the flu sure takes time - hope you at 100 soon.
ReplyDeleteRed will be a fun color to work with. Isn't it fun to find those early scrap treasures.
