Scrap-tastic Tuesday

Leanne and Nicky host a Scrap-tastic Tuesday, Angela hosts the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, and I am trying to follow both!  I have SO many scraps... I just can't throw them away!!!   So I am reading the blogs, reading the tutorials - and... I still have scraps lol

Last Months RSC color was purple - so I grabbed my purple bin and just started cutting and trimming and making usable sizes.... My goal - make a block from the Galaxy Quilt pattern from Jaybird Quilts.

And I did.... And I still have scraps.... So my tip of the month?  Share the wealth!!!


So here is the block I made.... and I might have cut enough to make a block or 3 more just like it. New techniques require Lots of practice from me you know!


here;s the book - just in case you are wondering what a finished quilt might look like
I predict I won't have one finished for a LOOOOONG time and didn't want you holding your breath!


This!
This is what is left in that little purple bin....
I did not know so much could be made out of one tiny bin

So.... do you want this?
If so, say YES in the comments - If there is more than one - 
I will draw a number and you can cut this till your heart s content!


Oh!! And over at Scrap Tastic Tuesday - you do a link up once a month
And they draw for cool gifts
I got a gift card to http://madaboutpatchwork.com/
and got to go shopping!!!!


Yay me!!
I even have a project in mind - for a child of mine....

If your interested in some more scraps 
I have listed some in my Etsy store too

Ha good plan to give away your bounty! Great block and hope that quilt doesn't take as long as you fear! I don't need any more scraps but I'm sure there are lots who do. Thank you for linking up to #scraptastictuesday

Yes please!!! I love scraps and always welcome more. I love the Gravity quilt and I have a feeling yours will be gorgeous in all its scrappy goodness.

Yes, I would be interested in your scraps. My scraps could use some more variety. Thanks for the chance!

YES! I am working on a scrappy hexagon Eye Spy and could definitely use some more purples in it. Thank you so much for offering it up. Phyllis ptl1957@hotmail.com

I knew I had a lot of scraps. Then I moved all my sewing stuff into one room and found 3 big tubs of scraps that I forgot about. I need to make a scrap quilt quick!

Yes! I'd love to have those scraps. My favorite color is purple so I'd be nuts not to at least try.

Thank you for the chance

I would love some purple scraps! I'm working on two scrap quilts - they need more contrasting colors :)

Beautiful block. I'm actually in really good shape on purple scraps, but yours certainly are pretty.
