Little Gems

Well this was very fun! For our Bee Sewcial prompt this month, Stephanie/
@spontaneousthreads chose Little Gems: "small studies of happy improv (45 to be exact::: each 2.5” square:: [which] adds up to just under 12.5” x 24.5”). Background a mix of black/very dark grays and off white/white. Pops of color as the focal point of each block. Color to background percentage no more than 30ish % but can be as little as 5%."

How perfect was this for my own personal 50 Days of Scraps??  My modus operandi was to make several blocks, then trim them to size and see what I could make with the trimmings. I came up with some of my favorite blocks that way.

AND though I counted these little guys over and over as I created, I somehow ended up with a couple of extra blocks, which is fine because one or two might be slightly over Stephanie's requested maximum of 30% color. It was hard to judge!

Anyway, these were great fun, and I was actually kind of sad to be done. But no worries, moving right along to a new scrap project!
