My Rainbow Scrap Challenge Block

My Rainbow Scrap Coin Block
 
Cutting: 
 
2" pink scrap strips (random lengths over 4.5 inches)
 
2" white scrap strips (random lengths over 12 inches"
 
Pink and White Scraps
 
Pink Scraps organized . 2" strips
 
chain sewing strips
 
Sew 2" pink strips together, adding new strips as the top or bottom ones runs out to make 2 strip pairs
 

Cut into 4.5 inch paired strip sets
 

cut and sewn into 4.5" strip sets

Sew pairs together to make strip sets of 4 strips
 
8 coins = 12 inch strip set

Sew 4 strip units together to make strips of 8 coins
 

3 strips with 2" white sashing
makes a 15" block 
Two blocks done!

My plan is to use white sashing, also scrappy, between the blocks after I
have all my rainbow of color blocks done.  I am not sure how many of each color block I want to make or how I am going to lay out the blocks.  For now I am just going to sew as many blocks as my Saturday sewing schedule allows and see what this produces.
 
I am sewing these blocks for my ...
 
 
 
I am linking up at the So Scrappy Blog again this week, where there are some very bright and scrappy happy quilts being made.  They are "scrapalicious!"
 
I am pretty happy with the way this is looking so far.  I have had "Coin Quilt" on my "Quilts I Want to Sew List" for some time.
 
I have to other projects in the queue for the remainder of any sewing time today and for tomorrow.
 
Have a happy scrappy quilty day!
