End of June Basket Challenge



The Joyful Quilter and I had a friendly wager/challenge this month. I started making scrap baskets in May. I made a scrappy basket in dark greens, the May color of the month at RSC20. I got kind of excited, so decided to go back and make the previous monthly colors. January was light or bright green.  Somewhere along the line, I’m not sure who challenged whom, but it happened. 
January: Light or Bright Green  





February: Orange




March: Teal/Aqua/Turquoise



April:  Light or Bright Blue




May:  Dark Green

Which was overflowing from the start and so began the "make more" process. 


It ended up that after Joy stated that she needed a light blue basket and I needed a dark blue basket , or was it visa versa..I said I’ll meet your dark blue basket and raise you a pink basket before the end of June! Pink was the monthly color chosen for RSC20. She accepted my challenge and exceeded it. You can check out her post  here. 

And here is my dark blue basket.....not attached to a month, yet! 






And a pink one for June! 



So Challenge made and met and in the process I have 7 new scrap sorting baskets!  Win-Win!!!



I’m excited for a new color, so I can make another one!   Join me if you are so inclined. I use the tutorial on Angela's blog, So Scrappy, but there are lots of ways to make one. 


Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy

  1. I love your scrap sorting baskets. They are certainly prettier than my clear plastic shoe boxes! I also think it's particularly appropriate that the scraps hold the scraps :)

  3. Oh my! I love these! I guess I need to see if there's any way I can figure out how to make one. They would be so handy for projects! I'm enjoying your blog! You are very talented.
