I'm not sure how far they will stretch this month because I used up a bunch of pink scraps in the background of my little Double Dare quilt last month.
Making made fabric squares has been my go-to method for cleaning out the mostly too small scraps. I have always loved scrappy backgrounds in quilts, but only in the last year or so considered the possibility of making scrappy background "fabric."
I found enough pinks to make another large 10 by 15 inch oak leaf block. Here are pink and blue together. The slow nature of making one block each month gives me a lot of time to think about how I will use them in a quilt at the end of the year. I already have some ideas ...
I hated the photo I took after dark and posted last night and have replaced it with something with a pink leaf that looks more pink than red (it's still more pink in real life than it appears on my screen ... but this is better).
I'll be joining the RSC Scrap Happy Saturday link tomorrow.

Speaking of Pink, here's a sunrise from earlier this week.

I like the idea of doing one block in each colour. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate them all into the total quilt.
Beautiful colours in the sunrise
Beautiful sunrise and love your leafs.
Making fabric is such a fun way to use up scraps. Glad you still had some left for your block.
Great looking block! Your sunrise is fabulous! Reminds me of the January/February challenge.
Your leaves are lovely. And might I add that your points and corners are perfect! Good job!
Just getting around to all the RSC posts. I love crumb blocks used any way. They leave so much to look at in any size of quilt. I'll be anxious to see your layout for the scrappy leaves. That was a fun lotto block.
