Scraps, scraps, scraps!!!

I can't believe how many scraps I have!  It will be 3 years this month since I finished my first quilt, and the most shocking thing is how many scraps I have acquired in such a short time.  I have been taking a color therapy class with scraps at Urban Spools we have been making scrappy one color way slabs of fabric, our inspiration is from Angie D'Amore's quilt backing that she created last spring at retreat

Angie's quilt slabs from retreat 

and here is a pic of her completed backing with the fun white with black polka dots sashing 

Because I am trying to be more orderly and get rid of my scrappy clutter I am enlisting my fellow retreaters help!  I have sorted all my scraps into the various color ways and I am making grab bags in those color ways 

 there's lots more of these

 so grab a bag (feel free to bring scraps of your own to add) and make a slab!  

Please keep any remaining scraps that are in your bag, or if you really don't want them I will have a drop bin everyone can return them to and also grab from. 

We will make 2 different sizes, hence our 2 block lotteries, so we will have 2 lucky winners!

15 1/2 inch slabs and 12 1/2 inch slabs

Making slabs:

each block 12 1/2 inch block will start with a 

1 1/2 inch square white text fabric I have precut  

each 15 1/2 inch block will start with a

 1 1/2 inch by 2 1/2 inch white text fabric I have precut 

scraps can be any shape as long as you can cute a straight edge from at least one size to begin

scraps should be pressed 

always have two straight edges for for your seam 

and of course be sure to square your blocks

most importantly enjoy the color therapy process!!!
