Scrappy Saturday

August was the month for sewing teal/aqua scraps at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and this week I have been sewing ladders for my Bitcoin project. Some of these scraps are 10 and 15 years old and they are so happy to be part of a quilt in the making. It is sometimes a challenge to keep the ladders even and straight. 

This project is a great scrap/strip eater!

And here are all the coloured ladders made so far - navy, purple and aqua.

I think I'm starting to understand the direction this quilt is taking and the next step is to decide on the size parameters of the project. Then I can start organizing these partial ladders and start sewing them together into columns. 


And also... only because it was aqua month, I enjoyed a couple of these pretty margaritas!

I've been seeing the bitcoin quilts. It is so tempting to start a new squirrel! love how yours is coming together. Quilt evolution is such a fascinating process.

You are tempting me to join the Bitcoin party! So pretty!

The Bitcoin squirrel has been calling me, too. I love how yours are looking with the color blocks rather than totally scrappy. I'm sensing an RSC2022 project for me!

That's a pretty margarita! I love the bitcoin design - I bet it really uses the scraps!

That is a great pattern to use up a bunch of little scraps. It's already looking quite good. Will you carry it over to next year? I'm really tempted by the beautiful margarita!

Your Bitcoin strips are looking so pretty together. So far the few I've made were using a random bunch of colors and when I layed them out together realized that they were leaning toward a dark and kind of muddy color palette.

What a great color combination for your Bitcoin quilt, as is! Will you be going full rainbow with it? That would be fabulous, too!

Looking really good, Kathy.
I'll pretend to believe you that the drinks were "only" because it was aqua month! LOL

Your Bitcoin is lovely, so pretty! I've like all the Bitcoins I've seen online. Happy stitching!

I have loved all the Bitcoin quilts I've seen. What a great RSC project as well. Didn't think about that! The margarita looks delicious!
