Scrap buster #55 Spindizzy kaleidoscope - fun with scraps

I’m on a mission to empty my scrap boxes and use up all strips cut to 1.5 and 2.5 inch before I will start using my new storing method. I just don’t want to handle all this fabric again so here we go, another scrappy design. My shirt fabrics are getting more and more bland as I use them up. I found adding solids to the mix greatly improve overall design as well as gave me opportunity to use smaller bits on adding tape. This is another design where anything will go, so any scraps in your bins will work too. Happy sewing!

PS. Thank you to all who provided ideas for a name of this block, some great suggestions and I picked lucky dip from the hat as it was difficult to decide😊

Scrap buster #54 Flying memories

I am working on my personal challenge. I pull out one tray with scraps and work from it until its finished. Recently, due to this goal, all my designs involved scraps from shirt fabrics but in these blocks, it can be easily replaced with any scraps you have in your own buckets. Because of the shirts used, I called this design Flying Memories. This is great scrap buster with many layouts as output. Also, I think it would make awesome border. My scraps were not so colourful as I wish but adding solids to the mix made them pop. This is one of these blocks that came out better then they looked in my head. Great blocks to use in my next project :)

Scrap buster #53 Scrappy double act and how to calculate the size of the block parts?

I had some scraps left from scrappy blocks (haha) so made it into double act combination. I am using shirt fabric but like with almost all my patterns, you can use any fabric/any colour/any designs to complete it. That is what I like the best, that it doesn’t require overthinking on does it match? I will make it into lap quilt for donations. This is great beginners friendly pattern and scrap buster.

I cover in this tutorial how to calculate sizes of individual pieces for blocks when they don’t follow magic numbers. It is not difficult, but I like to draw out everything. Also, always test on one to amend if needed!
