I have made a bit of progress on sewing my 1" black scraps this week for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I am sewing the blocks on my little white Singer Featherweight, which does a great job of making these tiny blocks for my Omigosh quilt. (You can see my great Canadian Fall quilt hanging on the wall in the background of this photo. It was a row-along project with a group of quilting friends from about 15 years ago. I enjoy hanging it up every fall!)
I decided to make the tiny 9 patch block backgrounds all scrappy neutrals, and thing it's working well so far. Black is an easy colour to work with in these blocks because of the contrast.

Love those little 9-patch blocks with the blacks and neutrals! Perfect combination!
Yep Lot's of contrast and fun scrappy way to use up those black on white neutrals as Bonnie calls them... Love to see you using your new TOY!
How appropriate to sew your black and white scraps on your black and white machine! Looking good.

Looking good. Great contrast and a lovely quilt in progress.
how you sew so many tiny pieces together is just wonderful you must have great patience
Ohh!Very very nice!!
I do like the scrappy backgrounds. I think I will finish mine the same way. If only I could stop making the nine patches for long enough to sew some together!
Love your blocks. So many tiny blocks. Wow!
