RSC15 - aka - Scrappy Saturday

Over at http://superscrappy.blogspot.com/ Angela hosts the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I participated last year and it was really fun! It made me delve into scraps and find some new ones. I really enjoyed it - so decided to play this year.

For 2014 - it took me almost the month of January to make a Scrappy Plan.... It hurt my brain - but this year! I have a plan.... sort of.....

I made this quilt as a part of our guild Log Cabin Challenge in 2014


I pulled out my 30's prints and was quite shocked to see I had so many. I don't honestly remember buying that many....  I think.... someone else did and put them in my bin. ( at least that's my story)

I was surprised that I had so many left when I was finished!!  So that brings me to 2015

My RSC15 Scrappy Quilt will be..... From my 30's prints!!

I went through all of the Blues this last few days ( yay for vacations and snow days)  and pulled all the blues. I cut them up into usable pieces, and I have a plan.

I took all the little bits and strips - and ta da 
(above)
I made this.... a few of those pieced are now about 50 inches long...
I made fabric
( bwahh haa haa....I crack myself up!)



I cut all the rest of the blues into 2 1/2 inch strips and then sub-cut them into their sizes.... and   

I have a plan.....

I just hope it all comes together like I planned.... 
and I hope to really use all of the 30's prints!
( so I can buy more ... insert evil laugh)

  4. Can't wait to see your plan come to fruition. I have a whole stash of 1930's prints and am looking for cool ways to use up that stash.

  5. A plan, I love a plan. I wish I had more plans of my own :) But I think a plan to "make fabric" is a great one, I just may take that one on. Can't wait to see what you do with those strips. Happy New Year!!

  8. It wasn't an evil laugh but I did have a chuckle of my own. Thank you!
    My plans usually don't come true, but I have a block in mind, I just can't find the pattern. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Frustrating. I did pull some fabrics that are close to the right color. There's a lovely stack, no blocks made.
    Hugs

  16. I hope you manage to use them all up. Having to buy more fabric is a terrible burden, but it is the price to be paid for using up the old. Looking forward to seeing what all that 1930s fabric turns into.
