Each month, Angela, at Soscrappy, chooses a colour, and a lot of people make blocks in that colour. She also gives directions for sampler blocks, and in February there were two:

| Lady of the Lake in Sawtooth Star |
 |
| Marley in Sawtooth Star |
From the pieces that were too small, or not straight enough, I "made" fabric. Not much yet, but I just found another bag of off-cuts.
I have no idea what I'm going to make these into, but I think they'll come in useful some day. I plan to do this each month in the colour of the month.
I am at a screen printing workshop today, so shall be linking up later than usual with
Hop over there, and look at all the pink delights made this month.

Wonderful blocks Marly! ♥ the little nine patches. For the little uneven scraps, I did a crumb quilt using such scraps. After piecing them together, I squared them off and used them as the middle block of a star block. On my blog, click Crumb quilt in the labels section to see it. Can't wait to see what you will do with these.
Hello Marly! Love both your blocks... I am really loving your colour scheme with the blue background. Clever use of the scraps too! :) xx
I like the idea of "making fabric" -- Those pieces will be fun to have around for little projects or improv blocks. Great idea. I usually throw those tiny pieces in a bag and there they sit. :-)
Beautiful! :)
Lovely blocks. I too like the idea of "making fabric". So fun!
Yup. That blue background focuses our attention on the centre block. Looking good.
Loving your blue background sampler blocks. Especially the Marley block. Beautiful! That made fabric is sure to come in handy someday.
Have fun with your "made fabric" each month. I'm sure that you will find a fabulous way to use the pieces... maybe for NEXT YEAR'S Rainbow Scrap Challenge! :o))
I'm LOVING those blue backgrounds on your RSC blocks! They really pop. Happy sewing!
What gorgeous coloured fabrics, your blocks are beautiful!
Your sampler blocks look great. Lots of pretty pinks in your 9 patch blocks.
Love your pink blocks. And your made fabric. I'm making fabric with my crumbs this year, too.
Love that blue and pink especially the hot pink block!
