New Year and New Button

Just in time for the new year, I am working on the new button for 2024.  

This is not a big year for changes at SoScrappy.  I have several quilts from last  year that need finishing, so that will be my focus.   As always, feel free to do what works for you in terms of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  The idea remains the same, use your scraps, one color at time.  Rather than feeling that you need to tackle the entire mob of extras cut offs and overstocks that makes up your scrap collection, start small.  In January, wrangle all of your green fabrics together and see what you can do with them.  Green can be a large volume color for many quilters, so don't get too bogged down.  If there are too many to handle in one month, just focus on the dark and bright end of the bin.  Feel free to save those lovely mint and sage pastel shades for later.  Pick a simple block or a complex block, but one that you are willing to revisit each month.  Then start to so some sorting and organization, at least enough to get a few blocks made.  Don't feel like you have to use up all of your greens, but doing a bit of taming is always welcome.  Best of all, you will have a few blocks sewn up before the end of the month.  Add those to a few more blocks in next months color..... Before New Year's Day rolls around next year your will have a quilt or more ready to go.
