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!

Getting the scraps cut into useable pieces is always a great feeling. Sounds like you have some great plans for all those little bits.
Yay for blue! My favourite colour of all.
Great start for the new year. I always start the year saying I'm going to "use up" more of my stash, but it just doesn't seem to shrink like I hope.
I really like the designs in the Nickel Quilts books! Looking forward to seeing what you make!
This is the year to get so much reduced and use. Love the colours and using fabrics for nickel quilt tops.
Sounds like a good plan!
sounds like you have projects in mind with your cuts!
You are off to a great start and heading towards multiple finishes. I'm so impressed with your organized approaching to "scrapping". Nothing like having 9 years of RSC under your belt to know what best serves you.
