Rainbow Scrap Challenge

Here are my RSC blocks for February. 

Ans here they are all together.  I have no idea how I set them together.  I am not even making them a regular size.  I am starting with 6.5 inch squares, sewing them in to half square triangles, then pinwheels, and trimming them up to 11 inches.  I guess, if I decide on a regular pattern, it will have to be with 10 inch squares and I will have to trim them all down to 10.5.  But, if I use just a simple sashing & cornerstone method, they are fine. 

Thinking I will head back up and work on a few Harry Potter blocks and my Snap Shots QAL for this month.

    I like your blocks a lot--I am just going to make my crosses blocks for the rest of the year--doing too many blocks for each color is too much stress for me and for my poor hand. I don't have to rotary cut my 2.5" squares as I have a GO!BABY die do that for me. Today I cut a few yellows--very paltry selection as I don't do yellow much--but it'll have to do. Hope you are staying warm and cozy this long Winter hugs, Julierose

      I have thought about getting a go cutter. Last week my wrist was killing me because of rotary cutting. I started those blocks last year and only got 1 made. I am trying to stick to it this year. My scrap bin is overflowing but all of it is really small pieces. I may end up just tossing it.

    No need to stick with a regular size as long as they are all the same, it will work out great. Love how they look together.

    Who says blocks have to be a particular size? They all work and look great in a quilt.
