Scrap Happy Saturday

Today I get to join up with others who have jumped in and are enjoying the Rainbow Scrap Challenge hosted here (I'm about #44). I've really been enjoying trying to focus on 1 color to work on lessening the number of scraps in that color. As far as I know, I really only have 2 more pieces of scraps in purple which I will use to try to finish out my 3.5 inch Jacob's Ladders (I'm at 33 of my 80 for the month.). If those run out, I haven't decided if I will cut into a fat quarter, or just make more of the other colors when I get to them...I guess I have 2 scraps worth of time to decide 😀.

The plan for my RSC17 included 2 "projects" each month. One was the 80 little Jacob's ladders to make a rainbow quilt at the end of the year, and the other was a top for charity out of the month's color. That is what happened to the rest of my purple scraps. They became this fun little Toddler quilt (42 x 56). On the plus side, this was the month with the fewest number of scraps for me (though I'm sure I must have more of this hiding in gifted scraps bags that just haven't been sorted yet...I have just a "few" of those 😏).

Today's Block Count: 3

1 more Orange Block and I'll be able to add the orange to the Red Center I made last year for the 365 Challenge. I'm also loving how different my black and white blocks are looking, It gives them a very different look to only be 2 colors.

Ok...Now I need some opinions from my readers. Should I absolutely keep today's Black and White Block (knowing that it will be next to other black and white blocks), Hold on to it until I lay out that border and see if it looks better with the others knowing I could make a different bonus block when it's time to put the border together, or Just go ahead and make the available bonus block now and put this in my orphans?
