Scrappy Striped Squares
Last month our color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge was blue, and for August we are working with light neutrals. It was a lucky bit of serendipity that I had pulled out my shirt stripe blocks, because they contain plenty of blue stripes plus lots of white/cream/light fabrics. I spent one weekend cutting tons of triangles from shirt parts, and have been putting them together into blocks since then.
Right now the design wall is filled with 6" and 9" blocks. I still have more 6" blocks to finish off, plus lots of little 3" blocks. They will be joined together in a random manner rather than in rows by size. You can see that some of the blocks are each made from a single fabric, and other blocks combine two fabrics. Here are couple of my favorite 9" blocks. Each of them uses both sides of a single fabric, giving a subtle difference in lighter/darker stripes. (It's a little easier to see what I mean in the grey block rather than the light blue/peach block.)

I love the soft colors in this one. You did a great job at matching all those stripes! It's going to be another beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe stripes play together to give some real interest. Have fun finishing the blocks and the quilt top this month.
ReplyDeleteI bet these blocks are going to make a super cozy, soft and cuddly quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI love these printed stripe blocks - it's going to be an amazing quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love striped fabrics in quilts. The colors are so soft and soothing in this quilt. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy coincidence, all those shirting ready to go. I love the grey reversed one. I've,used the backs in some cases, but never as part of the design like that. It really works.
ReplyDeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fantastic so far and you are so clever to work with stripes. I always make a hash of it.
