So it's Monday.....

And I do have one little something on my Design Wall.  The Rainbow Scrap Challenge for March is YELLOW! So this weekend I worked part time on my yellow scraps and did manage to finish my Basketweave Braid Star.   The more I make of these the more I love them.

  

For now though I'll just link to Judy's Design Wall .... ScrapHappy Saturday .... And also linking to Cynthia's Oh Scrap.

 ..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

Pretty Pink.....

Didn't take me long at all to get my two projects sewn up for this months Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Basketweave Braid Star

Hip To Be Square Challenge

For now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

Monday, Monday....

I did get around to making the other four  three sections of the Basketweave Braid Star block.  Love how this is looking with all the same colors.  The two top sections have been mixed up a bit but since I ran out of two of the 'colors' I decided I'd do the strips in the same fabrics as it progresses.   I do like the looks of them the best so I'll probably make all the rest of them this way.
Unless I change my mind.     

Scrappy is Great!..... as long as I can control it.  LOL

Heading over to Judy's Design Wall Monday to link up.
 ..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!

January Blues....

The color: Blue.  
For the last several years I have admired all the rainbow quilts that have been made by quilters that took part in soscrappy's Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  So this year I've decided I want to join it.   
I needed to come up with a block that I would like to make each month and not get tired of.  
Of course I spent way to much time pondering as usual.  I did finally come up with the one I want to use.   It's a paper-piecing pattern.... of course!  My favorite way to sew.

This is called Basketweave Braid Star.
The complete 12" block used 4 of these sections.
I plan to mix up the colors in each block as we get farther along in the year with more colors to choose from.

And Pat Sloan is having a scrap busting "Hip To Be Square Challenge".  The first block she came up with is an 8x8 setting using 2½" blocks in any color you want.  I went straight to my 'blue' drawer and started pulling, cutting and sewing and in no time at all I had this sewn together.   

 LOVE IT!!  I don't know what her next challenge will be but I'm definitely thinking I'll be making one of these each month in the same color as the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

But for now..... Have a great day. And stitch happy!
