I sorted all of my scrap bag into pieces that I thought were usable for centers and log rings and got to work! I found that I had to use yardage (or at least, larger scraps) for the outermost rings of the blocks, but I still made a sizable dent in my scrap bag! I made four blocks because they were so much fun!
All of my blocks are larger than she requested by an inch or so -- that way she can trim them down as she chooses.
This also most definitely counts as scrap progress for multi-colored fabrics for April in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge! I was able to make a sizable dent in my bag full of small scraps and strings narrower than 2 inches wide and used quite a few multi colored fabrics in these blocks. Any scrap busting-progress is worth celebrating in my book.

Looking good! You're right--all scrap busting is good!
ReplyDeleteYour scrap busting has made some really fun blocks.
ReplyDeleteVery fun blocks. Even better you were able to bust some stash. A win, win.
ReplyDeleteThose look like a lot of fun, and will be even more interesting with the plans your bee-mate has for them! It can be really enjoyable to sew those simple, relaxing types of blocks!
ReplyDeleteYou've gotta love it when a current project collides with the RSC. Nice work!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks and choices of fabrics. Love that wiggly pink and green striped fabric in the top left block!
ReplyDeleteLog cabin blocks are a brilliant solution for multicolor scrap busting!
ReplyDeleteOh, now I'm curious as to what they will look like in the end. That sounds like a fun quilt. I might have to give that a try.
ReplyDeleteHurray for finding a home for some scraps! It is definitely a never ending battle. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun blocks are more fun to come! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictuesday
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks, and it's a great idea to make them on the big side so they can be trimmed to size. I love scrap quilts.
ReplyDeleteThese look so fun! I'd have a blast with these ☺
