With a new month comes a new Rainbow Scrap Challenge color. March equals Red!
Right off the bat I made my little 9 patch blocks. The red looks so good with my black and white fabrics. I still haven't decided how I will use these blocks but I am starting to get a pretty good stack of them to play with soon.
For my string blocks, I decided to go with 6" blocks this month. I have very few "lights" in my red scrap bin so I can use a bunch of foundations I cut a long time ago from some print fabrics I knew I would never use. The print will never show through the red fabrics.
I only have two blocks finished and I have a long way to go to empty my red scrap bin!

I don't think there is a lot of wiggle room with reds! Compared to blue, green or even yellow where different shades are in abundance. Reds can easily go pinky or orange-ish real fast! That being said...I really like your blocks with black and white. And what a great idea using a unappealing fabric for your foundation!
love your reds. I am busy sorting through small pieces of fabric today to make more retro air ship propeller block - the blocks are shown on the blog post previous to the one I linked.
Your reds look great with the black and white backgrounds! I have string blocks next on my list, too. Looking forward to sewing with red this week!
I like what you did - reds are a funky little group aren't they?
You got a nice start on RED!! Looking forward to seeing what you make with these blocks (and others like them.)
Very fun red blocks. I really like those 9 patches, very dramatic color combo.
I think it is great that you are using some unloved fabric for your foundation. No one would ever know unless you told them. Thanks!
I'm loving all the red blocks! :)
You are doing good on those reds. Love what you have so far.
Love your reds! I'm behind on mine, as usual. Still plodding through aqua and purple, as I want those scraps gone!
Red and black is a classic combination. But I am really loving the juicy orange blocks. I am sure they will become something gorgeous.
Love those pretty 9 patch blocks and I look forward to seeing how they end up.
All of your blocks look great. Can't wait to see what you do with all of them!
