This July the Rainbow Scrap Challenge colour is BLUE once again. So the blue scrap bucket has come out again, and I'm going for a blue placemat with pale pink veins.
Progress has been slow, as I've been knitting this month. There, too, I've experienced setbacks.
Finally, though, on 31 July, a blue placemat!

The Joyful Quilter has a challenge, linked to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, to use scraps to make something for a table in the colour of the month. This month's colour is red, and my aim has been to use some of my red crumbs to make a place mat. Crumbs, by their nature are very small, and my chosen method is more labour intensive than I anticipated.
At 12" x 4" this is hardly a placemat!
My first attempts were not successful (fine lines not fine enough),
but narrowing the "sashing" and making a strip worked better and I managed to move it all along much more quickly.
Unfortunately, not quickly enough to meet this deadline, but I shall probably get a top finished in the next few days.
