Global Scrap Bee - January Edition!

We're almost halfway through the month and this is the first time I've thought to have a look at my Flickr account to check out what block needs making for the Global Scrap Bee. I'm glad I did! Anna from over at Quilting Along the Grain selected a fun little block that made up my evening's sewing! It didn't take me long to download the free templates from Craftsy.

On to fabric selection! Too bad I don't have much to choose from in the scrap department! These blocks are just 4 inches finished, so I could use up some really small pieces. Sadly, they didn't make much of a dent in the bins! Even now that they're finished, I still can't get the lids on properly!

 First segment done! Don't you just love those scissors? Santa/Himself was very good to me this year!

 I love the mess that happens with projects like this! Scraps and snips everywhere!

Not too much later, I had all my segments done. Where these blocks aren't too big, I opted to make four. I'd hate for Anna to get all her blocks and only be able to make a tote bag! ☺

It's only at times like these when I wish I had one of those rotating cutting mats!

 All trimmed up and ready to assemble!

 She asked for rainbow.... I think I nailed it!

Have I mentioned that sewing makes my day? Hope you found a little time to sew too!
