SCRAP Bee blocks for Mary-Frances

I have been playing with my white blocks but took some time out last night to make these red & white blocks for Mary-Frances.  Hope they play nice with the others!

These were fun, I especially liked making the one slash pointy.  I've learned so much from this bee already, thanks you guys!

30-Day challenge, days 4-6

humming right along...
Day 4: Light blue.  New technique: slashing.  I also tried adding some "larger" sized scraps.

Day 5: White.  New technique: I made two blocks and put them face to face, drew a line and stitched on either side of it, then cut it apart (the same way as if you were making HSTs).  Not so sure how I feel about it, but I thought I'd let it go and see where the challenge takes me.  I also felt more comfortable about using larger scraps.  So comfortable that i even threw in some of my favorite scraps (meaning this will have to turn into something of value some day..)

Day 6: Purple.  New technique:  more slashing, and I actually set a TIMER for 15 minutes.  Haha, when it went off I was no where near done playing, but I let myself stitch for 10 additional minutes and then stopped. 

I took everything else off the design wall and this is how the challenge blocks look so far..

Confidence

For my 15 minutes this afternoon I plucked up the courage to slash a wonky star block that did not meet the criteria for Block Lotto. There was not enough contrast of dark on light and it looked rather boring. I inserted the navy strips and then had to use another 15 minutes to add the border. Its much more interesting now. Thanks for the confidence to do this that I have gained from watching this site.
