It's Scraptastic Tuesday!

Scraptastic Tuesday is a new-to-me challenge this year, and I'm really excited about it!  When I started quilting 12 or so years ago, I couldn't make a scrappy project of any kind.  My quilt fabrics all matched and everything had to coordinate.  Fast forward about 10 years, and suddenly, almost every quilty project that I make is made from a complete mish-mash of fabrics.  Traditional fabrics are sewn to solids and that block might be sewn to something really modern and funky - and I love it!
This quilt is made entirely of 2.5" x 4.5" rectangles.  It's a block "pattern" that Joanne shared as a guest blogger for the Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge last year.  I tucked the idea away until I had some of my big projects completed last year - and now the time has come to start working on some of these great scrappy quilts!
I've started cutting up my leftover scraps into the rectangles I need for this block, and then, those rectangles are set next to my machine to be my Leaders / Enders.  The problem is, these blocks are so much fun to make, and I often find myself assembling 3 or 4 blocks before I get back to my original project!
So, this is one block:

This is what 48 of these blocks look like when they're assembled!

I'm debating whether to add one more row...  Then it will be ready to sandwich and quilt!
