The last of the pink...

Back in September I started making these little blocks as leaders and enders.


They are 1.5 x 2.5 chunks of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color of the month sewn to 1.5 x 2.5 neutral scraps.  When sewn together they make a 2.5 inch square.  

I decided to make 25 of each color grouping, to eventually create a larger block which would be about 10 inches finished.


I had made these little blocks out of orange, yellow, and black/gray.  This month I made pink ones, and started sewing the larger blocks together.


Pink...

And orange...



After a little trimming - voila!



These work great for leaders and enders and use up some little scraps, too!

Your blocks look great! I have thought about this block too for RSC. There are just so many layout options! Looking forward to seeing yours grow!

You will have a cute 'free' quilt when you are done. I can hardly wait until January when I hope to have time to jump around in my scrap bins!!

Your cute blocks really show what Angela had in mind for Rainbow Scrap Challenge by using up your smallest scraps to make quilt goodness. Keep up the good work!

I love rectangles for leader ender projects! Yours are beautiful. I enjoy the Rainbow Scrap Challenge too. Helps me keep control of the little bits I would otherwise forget! This year I've been doing crumbs!

A fun block for getting some of those scraps into a finished block.
