The Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilters are finishing up their scrappy projects from this year. But not me! I do finish quilts occasionally, but I much prefer to start them! LOL
Today I'm digging into the strip bin to make blocks for the new Quiltville mystery. These might work. There seem to be a lot of lights and darks but not as many mediums values.
Here are some of my scrappy 4 patch blocks for part #1 of the Quiltville mystery.
It's so fun to sort according to value only.
For example, should this green scrap be a medium?
Or should it be in with the lights??
It's both! It's value depends on which fabrics are beside it. So there is no wrong answer - it's all fun brain snacks for me!

I have not started on Chilhowie yet... but I might tomorrow. Your blocks are looking good - and isn't it crazy how depending on the fabrics next to it, a fabric can look so different! Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I think I'm better at starting quilts rather than finishing them too. But I did have a finish this week, so I'm pleased about that. Your new start looks great.
ReplyDeleteyour Chilhowie will look wonderful! I find periwinkle has a hard time deciding if it wants to be blue or purple!
ReplyDeleteI think your 4 patches look appealingly scrappy! I love the one polka dot block in each!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the Mystery, Kathy!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the mystery, it's always fun to see everybody's blocks as it goes along.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble too sometimes in determining whether something is light or medium, or medium/dark. Have fun with the mystery. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to dive in or not. I love the colors, so I'm very tempted.
ReplyDeleteGood luck finishing up the new mystery this year--I also love those dotty fabrics...will be watching how yours is coming along...hugs, Julierose
