ABC Table Scraps projects for March

Finishing up March with my Table Scraps projects - come take a look!

This year, for the 2023 Table Scraps Challenge over at the Joyful Quilter, Joy has included a couple of letters of the alphabet to somehow work into our quilty projects, as well as a color of the month, which coordinates with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  For March, the color has been green, and the letters are B and U.

For me this month, B stands for Orphan Blocks!   Way back in 2020, I participated in the Color Challenge, which is sponsored by Jen of Patterns by Jen, and each year there is a theme that each month's block is based on.  2020's theme was Birds (also starts with B!) and enjoying birds as I do, I knew I had to participate!  Here are the twelve blocks I made in 2020.

I enjoyed making each block throughout the year,

but have never made them into a quilt, 

so I decided I would use them for smaller projects this year! 

The most important thing is that there were two green blocks, and since these are 12.5 inch blocks, it only took a few inches of coordinating side borders to make two new 12 x 16 inch placemats!

Bright greens

Olive greens

Back to the ABCs of these table scraps projects - U stands for Underneath!  When you look at the underneath side of these placemats, you will find some fun prints that fit with the colors on the front.

And now we're all ready for dinner with a fresh, Spring table!
