Saturday in Black and White

I wasn't sure that this month's colors of black and grey for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge would fit in with my earlier Dancing Stars blocks, especially since I have been using black for the background on my blocks. After pulling out a collection of scraps and auditioning them on the black background, I decided that all would be well as long as there was enough white mixed in with the black. Here is what I have completed so far. I am still planning to make some grey stars too.



I have also been busy making hexagons with my black and grey scraps. I still have quite a few more to baste before I begin joining them together into stars and snowflakes.


I am linking up to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge--check it out every Saturday to see many great projects and ideas!

  1. Elegant stars and hexies! They should go with the other stars and hexies nicely.

  9. I wanted to say the white/gray stars were restful--but agree elegant describes them better.
