Scrap Happy Follow-up

 I've continued to sew my 2.5" scrap squares into sixteen patch blocks. My tin looked like this when I began:


And this is what it looks like today:


 The stacks at the top had four or more patches of a single print in them. The stacks in the middle were two or three of a print, and the bottom stacks were single squares. 

And now this is what my design wall currently looks like:

That's fifty blocks that will finish at eight inches each. They are on the wall in the order in which they were made, not arranged in any specific way yet. I want to see how many more blocks I can get out of the patches that are left in the tin. After that we'll make a decision about how to use them in a quilt top. 😊

Some of the blocks are very controlled while others have a wide variety of prints in them. Mostly I let color drive my placement decisions. The two blocks below have a variety of prints but read and red, white, and blue on top and black drives the lower block. 

This pair of blocks are more controlled: blue and yellow, then green and yellow. 

 

This may or may not make assigning block placement a challenge. That remains to be seen!
