Scraps Away!

Well I've been doing pretty good on my want to's for this month.  I am working on my Christmas projects that I want to do all year and I'm almost done with project number one.  Yay! I've started quilting it, I'll show it soon.
The other thing I am working on all year is reducing my scraps.  I'm not a huge scrap quilt person - but I'm trying to embrace them in a controlled way.  I usually keep all my left over pieces because I do a lot of applique - however it's getting overwhelming and on my nerves and I need to downsize them.  I'm doing this with a little help from the Rainbow Scrap Challenge 18 over at Soscrappy. Each month she posts a color and then on Saturdays you can link up and show what you're creating.  Yay! This month's color is light to medium blue. 
Okay - I cut up a these 

I'm using this diagram as a pattern - 

and making these blocks. 

Then I used my friend's cutting machine and cut  these tumbler blocks - 

I also have these HST and cut more blocks to make more.  

I want to use them to make this pattern: 

I did a little more cutting - I want to do a jig saw puzzle pattern like this -

but in several colors so will wait a few months until I put those blocks together.  
Then I saw this block 

and made some in blue.  Oops Pepe wanted Mama's attention. 

Here we go - 

So I'm getting a good start on my scraps for the month.  And now I'm going to link up to: 

Thanks for stopping by - Now go back and check out some of the other scrap challenges.  Scrap Sat #2.
