Scrappy Saturday - Stroop Word No. 1

For this week's RSC adventure,

I pulled out my graph paper, 

pencil, eraser, sharpie markers,

and two of my resource books.

(I'm going to have Color Play wire-coil bound next week -

it makes using the book SO much easier!)

Step one was to cut a 1.5" strip 

from each of the six hand dyed fabrics

in this month's packet from Vicki W's

 Rainbow Stash Snack Pack.

I added a narrow yellow-orange strip from the stash and made strata.

The strata yielded three 4.5" string squares.

I've worked out my design on paper -

time will tell whether the plan works!!

For now, I'll let the blocks remain unassembled.

Then it was time for the main event - the first stroop word.

(click here if you don't know about the stroop effect)

There are lots (!) of ways to make free pieced letters . . .

For this project, each letter will have its own 4.5" square.

This is similar to the one-letter-per-block

approach I used for And Sometimes Y in 2007.

I won't stitch any of these new letters together 

until much later in the year when I have more words to play with.

Fingers crossed!!
