Every month I deliberate over what to do with the Colour of the Month over at SoScrappy, usually ending up by just sewing strata of strips, and hoping that some inspriation will come in the future! Well, until this month when Angela announced that March would be Red (that stirs my Welsh blood!), and when I espied the wonderful scrappy blocks of Wanda's, there was no hesitation! I started 20 blocks, and 16 are trimmed to 9.5". I have almost depleted my box of red strings which is a good feeling. I started the centres with small crumbs, adding the shorter strings first and then the longer strings, and finally dug out 2" and 2.5" strips to finish off, but also needed to actually cut some more strips from well matured reds. They are much brighter than this indoor photo.
And these are my blocks for the March Block Lotto They are 8" finished. Keeping my fingers crossed to win this month!
Wonderful reds and such pretty Block Lotto blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks. As a proud Welsh woman myself I completely understand your love of red xx
