Oh Scrap! : Some Progress

I have way too many scrap/orphan block projects in the works right now.  I decided I need to get some of these finished before I can start anything new.

These scrappy blocks have been on my mind lately. They were made from a bunch of 2" HSTs that we received in the mail.  There are not enough blocks to make a traditional quilt so I am going to have to get create with how I lay them out.

I did finally decide to use this cream background fabric.  My plan is to lay them out in some a symmetrical way.  Once I picked my background, I knew the blocks were really going to look a bit dull.

I played with a lot of colors, but I settled on framing each block in this cornflower blue.  These strips will make a 1" frame.  I think that might be a bit too bit so I might trim them down a tiny bit and make them 3/4" or less.  Most of the blocks are now completed.  Hopefully this week I can get them set into the background fabric and one scrap quilt top will be finished!
