It felt so nice to find some time this week to cut up some scraps.
I worked on my first Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks for 2023.
The color for January is blue.
I am only making two different blocks this year. The first are these 36 patch blocks made from 2.5" squares. I am really trying to keep things simple this year.

The second block are these hearts, also made from 2.5" squares.

My plan is to make 3-5 blocks of each color and then make two or three donation quilts with them. I made the blocks the same size so that I could somehow use them in the same quilt if I want to.
Guess I need to keep cutting blue squares!
Have you picked out your RSC blocks for this year?

I wonder if you will stick to just two blocks throughout the year. They are nice together. Enjoy the blues. ;^)
Love the blues! These are both great blocks for using your scraps and they look great together. ~Jeanne
I really like both of your blocks, Cyndy! So pretty in those blues. Do you think you'll combine them in a quilt? Have a great Sunday!
I love the hearts and patches you can make a big quilt from that
I love this idea! Beautiful!
Great choice for RSC blocks! I'm going to try to keep it simple this year too. But I always say that LOL.
Both are great blocks for using up those smaller odds and ends. I'm going to work on an older RSC project that still needs blocks made. We'll see how that goes.
It’s a great idea to maybe sneak a few heart blocks in with the plain ones in a quilt.
You have the best ideas! I like both of your blocks and what a great way to use 2.5 inch scraps! I did have a RSC block in mind; but, I don't know if I'll be able to work it into the mix this year.
Those scrappy hearts are darling!
Great use of 1,5" scraps. The two blocks looks very nice together.
Have a great week.
Pretty blue blocks. I haven't started anything new (I may do some blue blocks later), I've decided to make progress on my blue UFOs.
Great idea to keep the two different blocks the same size. They'll look great together. Good luck in your plan. Blessings! Melva <><
Great plan for the RSC. I've been working diligently to use up some 2" and 2.5" squares. Of course the minute the pile goes down more seem to take their place!
I do like your plan for the RSC blocks. They are both great and would play nicely together if you want them to! 😉
You have great ideas for your 2023 RSC. Love the heart blocks.
Excellent idea for RSC23!!
