Scraptastic Tuesday winners in April

My scrappy hexy, square and triangle from last week have been handed over to my lovely Stingy bee mate Catherine,  who will add a square and a triangle before passing the lot onto Di in July.  

I have carried on scrapping this week...

At the end of last quarter I couldn't find these blocks,  which I received in a swap about three years ago!  (It is still going on here on Flickr, now with a colour theme for the outer square, in case you want to join in - it would be a great way to make this quilt with lots of variety!)  

I had been thinking I would just put them together to make a quick wall hanging before that FAL deadline.

And now I'm really glad I only found them recently, when looking for something else!  Isn't that always the way?

I quickly made about 20 more and was planning to carry on till I had a quilt full. 

Then I was considering different layouts, which would mean I could make fewer, and posted on IG about adding an alternate square which would mean a quicker finish - only about 80 more to make....still a lot right?  

Rainbow colours were mentioned so I started organising the blocks in their outer square colours on a diagonal line!  Next I added a wonky little snowball block using a whole heap of scrappy triangles - off cuts from making other blocks (really scrappy right?)  Loved it but not enough to make eighty more blocks.

I decided I had made enough and went for a modern look with just 41 blocks and lots of negative space.  A real 'less is more feel'!  

It all came together like this!  

I think you can see all those cute fussy cut economy blocks so much better with this arrangement and so I have another quilt top ready for quilting for #siblingstogether.  I hope some youngster will have fun looking at all those strange little snippet squares without thinking it too babyish...
