Rainbow Scrap Challenge--March--Red

I'm participating in  the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year. You can find out about it at soscrappy. The March color is red. 
 

 Red is my favorite color, so I have plenty of scraps to choose from.


Here are some of my string blocks. I was just playing around with a layout here; I've no idea how it will end up! Some are full string blocks, and some are half neutral/half color.

 
RED! Yay!



Pinwheel and X block



February's Aquamarine blocks



January's Purple blocks


I look forward to this challenge each month; it gives me a chance to make string blocks--one of my favorite things to do.

I'm linking with ScrapHappy Saturday at soscrappy.

    I, too, enjoy making String blocks. After two years of it, I'm having fun with some other blocks! Looking forward to seeing what other RED scrappy goodness comes out of your sewing room.

      Thanks, Nell. I'm not sure what the final arrangement will be yet, but it is fun to play!

    I enlarged your red blocks and was rewarded...I love the little feet in the white strips. And what a wonderful collection...can't wait to see it come together.

    I like the addition of the neutral strings, it really helps to emphasize the colours, and adds a lot of movement.

      Thanks! I like the shape of the block, but the angles of the strings bother me a bit. Thanks for visiting.
