A new start with Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2023! Amazingly, this is my 11th year of RSC. One of my major goals this year is to significantly downsize my fabric stash -- not just via RSC, but also with donations and discards -- and I'm off and running!
Scrap prep this week: our color assignment for January RSC is dark/bright blue. I started by pulling out some odds and ends of blues and spent an afternoon scrap cutting. I'm accumulating 5" squares and 1 1/2" strips. I have my eye on some possible projects in Pat Speth's Nickel Quilts books and plan to use the 5" squares that way. The strips will be used for log cabin and rail fence type blocks. I also found that I needed a separate basket for 2 1/2" squares (ends too small to make it into the 5" collection), and a strings (strips less than 1 1/2") pile on the back corner of the worktable. Any leftovers smaller than these will be discarded.
And for a change of pace from cutting, I started sewing up some HSTs. More blue action to come!

Thank you, Angela, for another year of rainbows!
