The number selected by Deana for the Chookshed Challenge for January was Number 6. For me this was:
MAKE SOME CRUMB BLOCKS - No goal as to how many to make. Just have fun.
That suited me just fine, as I don’t have the headspace for too much just at the moment, and besides, I was having too much fun with my Hexy Flower Quilt.
Looking at the blocks I had already made, I decided that red would be a good colour to work with and I have plenty of scraps in my tub. It is easier to work on two at a time, as you can chain piece.
A bit later on I decided to get down the blue scrap tub, as it is overflowing. This is such a fun, messy process. Not at all quick, as you fiddle around finding the best sized piece to add.
This is what I ended up with. They all are six and a half inches square.
And that’s all I did. I had fun, as instructed and there is no project planned for these at the moment, so they will just live in their tin until I feel like having another play. I may do some as a part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, now that I have belatedly decided to join in. I just didn’t need any more pink ones at this stage.
I’m linking up with Deana. Pop over to see what the other girls managed to achieve.

Well done working on your #6….
Those crumbs do look good together so do I need to make some?
These blocks will grow quickly before you know it. Just put them in a tub then one day you will have enough for a quilt. Well done.
They look like great blocks.
Lovely crumb blocks.
Your crumb blocks look great and what a good idea for scraps.
Great blocks Janice.
Great blocks - they are fun. I did some for the RSC a few years back although they are still sitting in the box awaiting inspiration lol. xx
