Blue Selvages--Rainbow Scrap Challenge

Some blue selvages
Goal number two on my June list was to stitch enough squares for four blocks in the color of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I have a lot of blue strings.

Even more selvages
I sorted them into a blue/green pile, a light/bright pile and a dark pile. I noted I had some teal and some aqua strips too!

Some of the wording on the selvages
This month, I remembered to snap a couple photos of the selvages before I started to cut them into segments for the blocks.

A few more selvages with wording
I could have stitched more squares since my pile didn't decrease much after I had finished making enough squares for four blocks. 

Squares in process
We had a bonus Zoom sew day on Monday. A member of one of my small groups moved to Kansas. To stay connected, we've been zooming one Monday a month. It's fun to hear what she found in her neighborhood and who she's met in the quilting world. 

Finished squares
We shared stories and laughter. I finished all of my squares. I'm linking to: Angela at Scrap Happy, Carol at To Do Tuesday.

For some reason, my blue scrap bucket is like that, too. I pull tons of scraps from it, but it never goes down! Those are some fun selvages, Terry!

What a wonderful way to keep in touch with your friend who moved away. Who can't use a bonus sew day per month? Congrats on getting your String blocks stitched up, Terry!

Way to salvage the selvage, Terry. Proof that every part of the fabric is useful.
