Red is the colour for May at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I got out this pile of triangles from a quilty friend, and broke open a charm pack to play with. What am I making? I don't know! After taking Cheryl's class last month I was reminded of the importance of play and how much I miss that feeling of freedom and lack of stress.
I started sewing the red triangles to the charm squares. This is what developed. A charm square plus 2 red triangles provided the fabric for 4 baby triangles and 4 squares, which became these little butterfly looking blocks. Is there a name for these?And this is where things are this morning.The pile of blocks is growing and I am having fun playing with the Canadian themed fabrics! These blocks will be incorporated somehow into my May Table Scraps project.Linking up to the weekly scrap party at Angela's

That looks like fun to play with! Glad you're enjoying it!
Beautiful projects and the reds are interesting. Do they have Oh Canada printed on them? Playing is always fun, releasing our creative side.
Playing with scraps is SEW perfect for the TABLE SCRAPS Challenge, Kathy!! Looking forward to seeing what these sweet RED blocks will become.
Great little butterfly blocks, and it is fun that they are made with Canadian themed fabrics.
That's a cute charm pack. I made some of those blocks this week too, but mine are wonky. They are fun and addictive like little crackers.
Good for you! Playing with fabric and accomplishing something at the same time! I’d end up with a mess, I’m afraid! I like those butterflies!
Pretty reds (my favorite color). Playing is good.
