I mentioned in a previous post that one of the things I was doing in the new year was to participate in one of Annie's Mystery Stitch Alongs. Earlier this month we received out first chapter and the pattern for the first block.

Another Scrap Mixology Finish
It is no secret that I love to play with scraps. And when I do, I like to keep the designs simple, versatile and I always love to play with color.

Ugliest Fabric on the Planet
One of my favorite scrap quilters is Sally over at The Object of Design. I actually have met her in person a couple of times so I feel pretty special!
During the pandemic, she has hosted a few "scrap" giveaways - I really don't need any scraps but during her last giveaway, I commented that I was running low on low volume pieces. Well, I won and a package soon arrived on my doorstep!

Oh Scrap! : More RSC Blocks
It seems that I have taken on a number of Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts this year. So I have been keeping pretty busy making all my pink blocks.

The First Finish of the Year
I decided in early December, that I was going to take the last few of weeks of the month "off". I was ready to call an end to the year. So that meant I was able to spend quite a bit of time on my own projects.
So I am pleased to say, I already have a finish to share!
I think I shared the improv blocks I was making from some Kaffe Fassett scraps I had. Each block started with a red square with blue, green and purple scraps added.

And Now There are Eight
Did you see that Angela over at SoScrappy is hosting another Rainbow Scrap Challenge QAL this year? It is called Full Stop.
Of course I decided to join in - so that means I now have 8 RSC quilts going on this year.
Sigh....
I already have my pink scrap bin out so it took me no time at all to cut the pieces I need for the Hashtag block that was released for this month. I finished up two blocks already. I decided to use the same background fabric throughout the quilt. It is hard to see from these photos but I used Kona Iced Frappe, which is kind of a soft mint green. It looks really nice with the pink!
If you want to join in the fun, the tutorial for the block can be found here.
For those of you with an AccuQuilt Studio cutter, you can get 50% off Studio Dies with the use code STUDIO50. The promotion runs until January 12th.

Oh Scrap! : Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2021
Welcome to the first link-up of Oh Scrap! of 2021. I think this will be its seventh year. That is a whole lot of scrappy inspiration!
One of my other RSC blocks that will be carrying over is my scrappy lego quilt. So far I only have red and pink blocks completed. They are made with 2" strips and get trimmed to 12.5" square.
I have some of my other blocks all cut and sitting next to my machine to be sewn. I thought I only had 4 RSC projects planned for the year but it looks like I am up to six. Crazy how that happens!
Are you ready for lots of scrap quilting in 2021?!
