Oh Scrap Baskets

I haven't joined Oh Scraps for a long time. Sundays sometimes get away from me and I don't get a post written.  But I have been sewing scraps.......scrap baskets


Rainbow Scrap Challenge's color for May is Dark Green.

I sewed this basket:

But there were too many chunks and scraps:

So I made another:  this time lighter brighter greens: 

That's better!

Next I decided to do Orange.  I had used all my slab blocks in the making of Precarious last year. It still is just a top but I will finish it. So I set about to make more orange slab blocks. I had to make frankinbatting...then quilt the pieces. I had a old piece of plain orange in my stash that will work for lining. It was cheap fabric, purchased years ago to make clown costumes for Mr. Busy and me for a Halloween party. I didn't have lots of options in our small town. We had K-Mart! I haven't used the fabric in any quilts, the quality is not good enough. But I can't just toss it either. Glad I found a use for it here. I starched it heavily, so it wasn't so "thready"!

One small error....I was in such a hurry to get it done, so I could post, I forgot to put a piece of cardboard or poster board under the lining before I sewed the opening shut. OOPS!  I will cut something and just lay it in the bottom for now.  I'll fix it later!  

Now I want to catch up with the other colors from RSC20.
