February really sped by, and I wasn't sure I would be able to finish the scrappy green placemat I started earlier in the month, but I did! I originally shared my green crumb blocks a couple weeks ago, but at that point they were just sewn in twos and threes. Inspired by Judy's post last week, I dug into my orphan block drawer and pulled out two green quarter star blocks left over from last year's Rainbow Scrap Challenge project and added them into the mix. Eventually I had two crumb strips that were 4.5 x 16.5.
I mixed bright greens and dark greens
so that I could get enough scraps for a whole placemat.
Then I just needed to fill in the center to get a piece that measured 12.5 x 16.5.
Little penguins, stars, hearts, grassy swirls, leaves
Some serpentine quilting, a dark green Grunge for the binding, and the green placemat is finished!
So far, so good on my goal to make a rainbow of scrappy placemats this year!
Blue ✔️ Green ✔️
These crumb blocks made good leader/enders for sewing a couple of star blocks for Carole's QOV block drive. I sent these off to her this week, too.
