I finally did it! I finally joined the rainbow scrap challenge. A slew of deadlines hit in January, and then the quilt parade was so pretty, that I just couldn't resist picking up a nice slow project.I am using my scraps to make Amber's Scrap Jar Stars (from A Little Bit Biased). I haven't seen this block paired with a dark background, and I do love rainbows on black backgrounds, so this star strewn fabric was given new purpose. I was even able to start with the scraps from my first project!
January's Purple stars were made mostly from my scrap bins. The larger points broke into the larger, less scrappy scraps, but all fabrics had already been used.
On the other hand, February are a mix of scrap jar stars and stash shelf stars. Apparently I have more plans to use teal than actually teal usage. I clearly need to work on that! I love all the little fussy cut pieces that turned up in February though - the light-bulb and the atom are my favorite pieces!
Linking up with soscrappy and Fabric Frenzy Friday.
ohh they are so pretty, I love the fussy cut pieces too!!!
