Scrap Attack blocks gifted by Guild members

In May/2024, I had to step down from the President roll at the HHQG, two months earlier then expected due to my cancer diagnoses.  Someone stepped into the roll and continued on to fill in the position for the following year.  

During this time, the guild was making plans.  One of the executive members organized and led the project to accumulate blocks, made by all the members of the guild.  This was happening behind the scenes.  On Oct/2024, I went to the Guild meeting and was gifted a stack of blocks.  

The block is called Scrap Attack.  It's paper piece.  The instructions the guild members received when they got the paper piece pattern was to think scrappy and bright, as I usually like it that way...lol.  They really got to know me....lol.  This picture is of one block and a copy of the paper template.  

I threw the blocks up on the design board, the next day and organized a layout with what I had, based on how big I wanted it to be in the end.  Just peeking out at the top of the picture below is the border fabrics that I was planning to use.  Now I'm going to work at finishing the remaining blocks needed.

The following pictures are of the progress, as of April 8/2025.  I haven't really had much time to work on them and got distracted with other projects.


I have since removed the blocks from the design board, to be worked on later.  As a guidance, I took this next picture for a closer view of the bottom half, of the quilt.   This way, when I get back to it, I can confirm which block I am making and what colours are in the area to help mess the blocks together.


I appreciate all the blocks I received and find it interesting how each member interprets the instructions given and how well they have come to know me!  Now it's up to me to make a cohesive quilt!!  I'll get back to this quilt soon.  There are others that I want to get out of the way first.....some of the old quilts.   
Take care everyone and don't forget to take some time for yourself.
