Cranky!

 Not as in grouchy but for cranking out tons of these tumbling blocks 

for Christmas quilts for the hospital!

 I have pulled a pile of prints that will work for kids so I can make my 49 pieces for each one.

 I like two contrasting colors but might have to improvise for some of the piles 

when there isn't quite enough of one print.

This is a win, win endeavor;  I use up these piles of fabric 

and the quilts will cheer up an unfortunate child this holiday season!

Next up is the marathon of piecing which should go very quickly with these large

and easily pieced blocks!

My Design Board

 I've joined in the RSC15 (rainbow scrap challenge of 2015) and this month it is yellow scraps of the star block.   I have the Accuquilt variation of the Ohio Star block so that helps with the trimming of my scraps.
I played around with the yellows and gold I have in the stash

and so far I have come up with these nine blocks.   I want to make 3 more for a small quilt and then I will make the two needed for the RSC15 quilt which is the goal for the challenge.   I am inspired!
