I continue to make progress on my scrap buster number two which is a block from the book Modern Bee: 13 Quilts to Make With Friends. Surprisingly, I am still using white from my scrap whites. I am trying to use all those leftover setting triangles and bits and pieces from other projects and so far it is working. I am working my way through my other scraps but found that I just too darn short in the orange department so have resorted to some orange fat quarters that have been lingering in the stash to make up for the scrap shortage. These blocks all need trimming but it is very satisfying to take these oddly shaped bits of fabric and slice them into something pretty.
