I had the blues out this week. Earlier I cut some blue and some white squares that may become a Stash Buster block, for RSC. I’m linking up with Angela at ScrapHappy Saturday .
I only got started on the first block. I had to read and reread the instructions. Depending on how they go together, I’ll decide if they will be RSC blocks.
Trim them to 6” square, then slice into 1.5” strips,

| This is the right side of the block, the other (left side) is the opposite. It’s the Delectable Mountain block. Have you ever done one? |
Then I got the scrappiest bins out and made crumb blocks. I have no real plan for the crumb/slab blocks. But the scraps won’t end up in the landfill if I can help it.
I did participate in Project Quilting, but used aqua and a bit of lime green.
Looks like my upcoming week will be busy. Mr. Busy graduated from Cardiac Rehabilitation and we have committed to walking 3 days a week to start, then add to that. We have a great county Recreation Center, so we won’t have a bad weather excuse.
Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
Keeping fabric out of the landfill is an admirable goal. Your slabs are sure to come in handy at some point. Making fabric is a great way to use up scraps.
ReplyDeleteI never have made a Delectable Mountains block, but I love the look of them, and I think they will be great for an RSC project. What size will yours turn out? I've been sewing blue crumb blocks this week, too - they are so fun! Walking is my favorite exercise - so glad Mr. Busy is finishedwith his rehab and ready for that next step!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Mr. Busy is making good progress. Walking will be good for both of you. It's a healthy way to keep moving and, weather permitting, get some fresh air! I've made a few delectable mountain blocks and always wonder why I haven't make more. There are so many ways to use them. Enjoy them!
