Before I award the September Scraptastic Tuesday prizes I have the start of a new project.
I don't much scrappy work to share today but I did start playing with some scrappy improv circles. I think I might make a bunch more.
It is interesting because I see these as scrappy because they are different colours and I can use some of my solid scraps when making them. But since this block is about 20" square, I am mostly using large chunks cut from large 1 yard or more pieces of solids which were purchased for making large improv solid stuff. So are they scrappy? I still think so.

PS: Your "scrappy" blocks looks great. And yes I would also call it scrappy.
Beautiful block! Love the colors! Congrats to all the winners!
Congrats to the winners. I'm always debating with myself about a scrappy project not made of actual scraps and usually lean towards the benefit of doubt.
Congratulations to the winners!
