Scrappy Saturday - Variety Style

I finally sewed the last bits and pieces from Winterberry together . . .

They are now a reversible mug rug.

Next I sorted out and stitched the red blocks for Scrappy Kites . . .

Love the colorful possibilities in this project!

Speaking of Possibilities . . . 

there are several newly completed scrappy journal covers

available over on my Possibilities blog 

Now for the week's main event . . .

Early in the week I pulled out the project box for Fruit Loops,

the 5th of my six 2014 RSC projects.

As I puzzled through how things were going to fit together,

I decided to use my red crumbs and piece new 6.5" blocks

to replace the single fabric red I cut last year.

Voila! 

So much more fun . . .

I also stitched together four oversize four-patches

so I could cut out new brown 6.5" squares.

The single fabric I chose last year was fun,

but it didn't read well with the rest of the color blocks.

Here are Fruit Loop's 12 sets of 6.5" squares on the design wall.

Next steps will be to cut out the background fabrics

and begin stitching the component parts.

(I saved this design from a 2013 issue of Fat Quarterly

because I could use my die cutter for the 2.5" squares and f.g. corners)

More photos next week!
