A while back I had to make a couple of blocks for a group charity quilt - and the person coordinating it wanted the blocks to be SUPER SUPER scrappy - as it 16-18 fabrics of the same colorway per block.
I had to use Yellows and Teals
You know that if I had to have that much fabric out - I needed to cut it up... it just COULD not go back in my stash. ( only because I would never find it again!)
Because I am a fan of 5 inch squares ... I cut a lot of 5 inch squares... and then started playing, using them as leader enders.....
Unfortunately that did not use up all the yellow that I cut up... but I moved on to the teal - so we will see what becomes of those...
Now!! I have yellow scraps to use up tho - when that color called for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!
Don't forget to come back Friday and link up to
Finished ( or not) Friday - its lots of fun to see everyones progress on quilty things!

Wow that was fast! Great leader/ender project, I love the way it turned out.
I like it, you whipped that up fast!
Super job of using some of the yellow 5" squares. Hum, I might steal this idea with 3.5" squares and see what I can use up. Or cut up that size in one color. Heck, I could just use the 2.5" squares I already have cut up and see what happens... Thanks for the wonderful idea. I'm looking forward to seeing the teal.
Another clever way to use up those 5" squares! I like this idea.
Isn't it amazing what a bit of fabric can make!!! I like the name you gave this one, too!
Looks great, and I love that even the white on white prints are scrappy.
I'm not sure we ever use up all of the scraps, but that is a great try! I love these happy yellows - they make a neat design!
A very fun way to use up those extra 5" squares!
How creative, AND FAST you are!
Very clever!
What a delightfully bright quilt! I love scrappy and I love yellow. Filing your idea away for my boxes of various sized squares.
Looks so good! It makes me want to dig into my 5 inch square bin! LOL
I like it! I always see so many quilt tops I would like to try to make myself.
This is sew cute Alycia! I need to cup up a lot of scraps into squares and start using them up. I love that it's so bright and cheerful! Thanks for sharing on Monday Musings!
