Scrap Happy Saturday

YELLOW!

When I sneaked a peak at Angela's blog header early on January 31 and saw the yellow, I jumped right into my yellow scraps and started cutting for my February Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects.  The plan was to take them to retreat next week to use as leaders/enders.

Well, who can resist a pile of bright yellow?  First I selected a block to add to my Squared Away sampler from 2018, chose some scraps and got to cutting.  The block I picked was so simple that in no time I had it cut and sewn!



And not long after, I had eight chandelier blocks on the wall!

Oops - one on the right is turned
I am really enjoying the background in these blocks. Looks like it's been in a paintball fight.


I just hope I have enough of the background to make 8 blocks every month...

Strips are cut for Double Shot.  We'll see if I can hold off until Monday ... they are so easy to make, all from the same strip size ...

Linking with Angela for Scrap Happy Saturday!

    Your background fabric for the chandelier blocks is just about the most perfect for a rainbow quilt that I've ever seen! It will be fun to see that quilt grow!

    Oh, I adore that splatty background fabric! Perfect for RSC! And those chandelier beads are soooo tempting. That's a lot of pizzazz for such a simple little block!

    LOL!! DS2 went to some Paintball parties with friends when he was younger. Thanks for the memory! Your Squared Away Sampler block looks beautiful in YELLOW.

    I like the splashy background for the second block. I got all my RSC yellows done last evening.

    Your background fabric looks great with those yellows. My RSC blocks are paired with a solid white and I'm hoping that it will be enough contrast for my yellows.
