Now is the time that people to start making plans for the new year. In honor of fresh starts, I am organizing a challenge to encourage people to use their scraps. One color theme will be presented each month along with some ideas for using scraps in fun and new ways. I am inviting anyone who would like to play along to try these ideas or some of your own.
The plan is simple: comment to let me know that you want to participate in the challenge and I will start a list in the side margin. Each month will bring a new color or theme along with some ideas on how to use scraps. At the end of the month, let me know what you have made. I will put up a Mr. Linky box so everyone can come by and see your scrap creations.
Already participating in another challenge? Not a problem, feel free to deviate from my colors. Don't have any scraps of a particular color? Of course you may substitute and change things up to your hearts content. No rules, no quilt police, no worries. The goal is simple, to use more scraps by focusing on a single color each month and using it to try out different scrap friendly projects. You can work on a series of small projects or create individual blocks to go together into a single quilt at the end of the year. The choice is yours.
How do you get started? Go find some scraps. Collect them together and start sorting. We'll be using a particular color or combination each month, so the easiest way to start is to separate some of your scraps by color. Don't feel like you need to overhaul your whole scrap organization system, just collect together a nice little assortment. Put it in a bowl or a bag or a jar. January is going to be blue, so you can start by looking at your scrap basket, box or tub and pulling out some blue. Crumbs, strings, strips, leftovers, it's all good. Just find something blue. Then leave me a comment and I will start making my list and checking it twice. I'll even figure out how to make a nifty button that links back to my sight. I think I can, I think I can.

I would love to participate on the 2011 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I also love scraps and was thinking of making 2011 the year of the scrap fabric projects...So count me in and I already have all my scraps sorted by colour...
Love your scraps and your midget fabric, too!
Count me in. I seem to have more scraps than larger pieces of fabric, so I'd like to use up my scraps so that I can justify buying more fabric to make more scraps. I've no idea what a Mr Linky is, so that will be something new for me to work out too.
Sounds like a great idea, I'll be watching and will probably jump in some months.
Sounds like fun. I don't have a lot of scraps since I don't keep a lot of them ( I know, it is quilter blasphemy) but I'll play.
Count me in too please - next year is supposed to be my year of completing UFO's (the second year as this year wasn't long enough!!!) but I can use scraps up too to make things interesting!
Hiya twinnie---
LOVING that you are willing to host a Challenge for 2011. I'll get around to commenting on your other posts later on, but FOR SURE add me to your Challenge list! ;0)
Life SHOULD slow down come the end of January {{AP Stats will be DONE!!!}}
Please add me to the list. I have most of my fabric sorted by color. And I adore scrap quilts!!
I want to participate! Please add me. :) Great challenge! Can't wait to begin.
I have so many things already started, I probably will just follow along. But your button was so pretty I put it on my page for my friends.
Billie in TX
I'd love to participate. I love scrap quilts and new ideas!!
This sounds like a great idea. Count me in.
This seems to be just what I'm looking for. One of my 2011 goals is to quilt. I am a newbie though --will I be able to keep up?
This sounds like a great idea and I'd like to be a part of it. Please sign me up.
Count me in - I love scrap quilts -have too much stash - hopefully this will help me pare it down
Count me in! My scrap bag has slowly evolved into a scrap tote! Just today I went to my favorite quilt shop and came away with ... Yes! A bag of scraps! And I have TONS of blue ones! What about just taking the button at the top of your post and making it avatar size for a sidebar button?

Add me to the list please. My scraps are already sorted by color so I'm ready to go!

Thank you, sorry about that. Livejournal doesn't do the address thing, unless you are registered on livejournal. It's dezertsuz at gmail.
I like the idea for your scrap challenge. I need to use up some scraps (actually a lot of them). Focusing on a color a month seems like a neat way to go.
please include me in the challenge. I have some already sorted.
Linda B in MI

I had decided that I was going to tackle my scrap heaps (way bigger than a pile! ;~) ) in 2011, so count me in. This will give me even more incentive.
I love the idea. Please include me (and link to my sophie junction blog). I have been using scraps most of this year for the Block Lotto blocks but somehow I never run out of scraps. They are already sorted by color; I'm ready to go.
I have lots of scraps and would like to participate. Will you send emails or do we just know to look?
Nancy in IN
Sounds like Scraps of Fun so count me in. I was just checking out all my scraps and thinking of making a crumb quilt but your idea is so much better. So time to sort my scrsps. And I know I have blue. So will be ready for Jan. Thanks for doing this for us!

What a good idea - I am trying to use up some scraps and I love monochromatic things. I think I would like to be signed up (hopefully I don't have too many things happening already next year, lol).
Count me in. I need to use my stash. This will be fun and can't wait to gather up my blue.
This is just what I need. I am addicted to scraps. The more I can make with them the better.
Lorraine
I'd like to add your button to my blog. Would it be ok to 'steal' it? Very pretty button, by the way. Thanks.
Hello, I have so many scraps and would love to join in, many thanks.
I would love to join your group making the scrappy quilt....
Hi Melinda!

Sounds like a brilliant idea to me. I will try to keep up. I like to pick 2 BOM's each year so this will be one of them! Love the picks of scraps in jars...I would hate to take them out!
I would love to participate.
thanks,
Anett
I think I clicked on the wrong group. I need to be in the participants, not the no-reply group. Sorry for the mixup. Can you change me, please. Thanks.
I would love to participate. My blogs set to open January 1st and I have been looking for a good challenge. I have pulled all my blues and can't wait to see all the great ideas you have.
I love your jars of colored scraps. They look like candy in those jars.
Count me in...I have tons of scraps already sorted by color.
Blue it is for January!

What fun to find your scrap by color challenge! Just last month I made up drawers of scraps organized by color, so it should be easy for me to participate. I will put a link to your site on my quiltquest.blogspot.com blog as soon as I return from my holiday adventure. Thanks!
Hi,
I´d like to participate. I don´t know, if I could do that thing every month, but I have lots of scraps and I like to get ideas to use them.
Thanks for your idea.
Elke

Fabulous idea!!! Please add me to your list! I have a TON of scraps and looking to use them up in some projects. I have some large quilt projects in the works already, but this would be a good way to make up some smaller projects!!!
I think I will make Saturdays my "Scrap Saturday"!!!! Tonight when the baby is off to la la land I will be going through my blue scraps and some small pattern ideas and get started!
Quiltingly Yours!
Andrea
I think this is a great idea and I do have a lot of scraps, although I keep mine sorted by sizes.

Great minds must think alike. I'm doing cricketsstudio's quilt-along, and had planned to do a scrappy (kind of) calendar quilt in colors to match the month for each block. I'd decided on blue for January, so I guess I'm already in. Sign me up, please!
I would love to participate in your 2011 Rainbow Scraps Challenge. Please add me! Hugs, Finn
Is there a place where we can post a photo of our finished project? I was thinking there was but I'm not finding it right now. Thanks!
It sounds like it would be fun, and I need to make something with my scraps instead of just fondling and looking at them, then I'll need to use some of my bigger bits and can have new scraps. Please add me
Angela, got your e-mail. I'm in...it will only be a block this month. Glad to hear there aren't any quilting police around. Thanks!!
I would love to do your challenge. I just sorted all my yarn and my next project was to sort out my fabric. This gives me some motivation to get started.
Would love to join! I have lots of scraps to use up. Thanks for giving us a new challenge and way to use them up! Ande
I would love to join this challenge. Have plenty of scraps already sorted.
I've got a lot of scraps, always using them the same way. Looking forward to what you're making.
Ingrid.
I just recently sorted all my scraps by color (finally). So I think I will give this a whirl. Thanks.
I would love to join. Some of my scraps are already sorted, not all and now is a perfect time to start sorting them all.

Wow... it's Jan 31st and I just made it under the wire! lol.
YES, please add me to your Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I would love to participate. What a wonderful idea. Thank you for organizing this.
What is the difference in the Scrap Challenge Participants and the No Reply Scrap Challenge Participants? I am listed in the No Reply. Where do you post your finished projects for the month of January?
I thought I had signed up to be a part of the challenge, but didn't find my name anywhere. I have your button on my blog and would love to join the rainbow challenge.
I was finishing up a blue mug rug during the last week of January when my father-in-law suddenly passed away. I didn't get my blue project done, but will be finishing it up today. I'll have to see what I have in red to participate in Feb.
Would love to post my finished work when done. Please, add me to the challenge.
Thanks so much!
I'll give it ago even though i am two months behind now, but I'll catch up

I would also love to join your Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I hope to reduce my stash a litte bit.
I would love to join the challenge. I won't start until May, but I am looking forward to my "assignments"!
Hope it is not too late to get in on the Scrap Challenge. If O.K. will start in June, don't have a pink scrap in my pile. I will put you button on my blog. Hugs
It looks like the scrap challenge has been going on for almost 2 years? I would like to join but am wondering, will it go on for another year or end in December? I have just began to interact in the blogging/quilting world for the past couple of months and it's very exciting!
Sheri
I am interested too.
Being we are nearly in December will this continue into 2014
I have been seeing lots of great ideas for the Rainbow Scraps Challenge for 2013 on many blogs and I would like to participate in 2014. I haven't decided yet what block or how many each month, but they will be made with my scraps and follow your monthly colors. Thanks for doing this again.
love this idea but will need to set up a blog for my quilts as I only have a blog for my cardmaking.
I just found your blog and would love to participate!! XX! lori
I've been seeing great ideas from your Rainbow Scraps challenge and would like to participate. Can I join anytime or do I need to wait until 2015? Thanks
I'm doing the challenge with my crumb jars. It's 2017 now, and I tried to post a pic with the Mr. Linky thing. I'm not sure whether posting here first is a requirement, so here it is :-)
