RJ, congrats - get out of that old comfort zone! White with the brights will be stunning! Make sure to post your pix on the last mystery -- I love to go back and see what has been added to that thread.
Belfry, jaba, bluebonnet and Emma, welcome back. I also had an idea of using 4 blocks the same to make a table runner. Won't be scrappy, but might try it after finishing some charity half-done tops that I want to get done this weekend. |
Thanks for another fun challenge! Part of my challenge to myself is to only make a table runner....we'll see how THAT goes :D

Belfry: I am limiting myself to blues and greens although there are splashes of other colors in many of my scraps. My scraps in those colors take up five wire baskets, not even mentioning the under one yard cuts that are in my stash. Don't know how it is going to work out but am encouraged by the fact that Judy is thinking of using the same ones in a table runner. Regardless, always fun.
I am going to hold off deciding on the background fabric. Thing of a pastel green or blue. But want to make sure something more neutral wouldn't work better. Judy, do you have any advise? |
I am going for a large scrappy but I am also thinking about a table runner with the blues. I've been needing one.
|
Glad you're with us, RJ. Looking forward to seeing your brights quilt. 😄

Question: Can the 20" strips be spliced to reach that length? I have a lot of 12- 18" lengths in the 4-1/2" wide but very little 20" lengths. I hate to think I'll have to cut up FQs to get the 20" lengths, and end up adding to my scrap totes.

If you look at my red pile, it can be used in different configurations -- perhaps the darkest color will be a 4-1/2” square for Color A with the other 2 colors for B and C, and another block could be made with the medium or the light as the 4-1/2” square. |
