Every week I try to "manage" more scraps. And every week I realize that those scraps must just multiply in the dark when I'm not there.
From this week's scraps, these 4 new Shooting Star blocks were sewn. There were also 4 new blue ones, but I'll save that photo for tomorrow's RSC post. There are parts cut for a few more as well.
The more I looked at the Shooting Star pattern, the more I was convinced that the alternate block was really needed to make the design work best.
So, I'll continue making some of the alternate blocks too as I go along.
Some of the parts that I've cut for additional blocks came from random jelly roll strips left over from other projects. Two strips will make 2 new alternate blocks and 2 Shooting Stars. The remainder of both strips were cut into bricks and squares and put into the "precut" bins instead of dropping them back into the scrap bins.
I love those two blocks together - they look great
ReplyDeleteThat alternate block really works with the star blocks. Scraps do seem to just multiply overnight on their own! Do you think we ever get a handle on those?
ReplyDeleteThose are great blocks!! and right? the scraps grow so fast!!
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the alternate blocks.
ReplyDeleteNice alternate block, it plays well:)
