My first practice block.
https://www.bonjourquilts.com/diamond-quilt/
About a decade ago, I was nursing and you could pretty much wear any print you wanted...so I made lots of scrub tops from cute prints, but now...sadly, we can only wear solid blue. So....I have hoarded all those tops, and hey! This is a great pattern to make and use the solid colored pants, and the print tops I have saved for so long! Hurrah!!! I plan to make some of these blocks from those materials.

That is a cool block--and your block is just as pretty as hers are!
My sister wears scrubs as a lunch room worker, and they have to get five new sets each year and they all wear the same design together each day of the week. She is making a pinwheel quilt from the scrubs from past years. Great way to use up those fun fabrics.
Lovely block! That really is a good tutorial. I love those Bloc Loc rulers too. Not sure it's in my budget yet but they really help with accuracy. I'm still using scrub material in quilts. Most of mine were made with Hoffman cottons :-)
Oh what a cute block pattern. Such a special idea to use old scrub top print fabrics.
That's a beautiful block, and seems it would be relatively easy. Thanks for sharing. A couple of weeks ago, while cleaning a closet, I found my Mother's aprons from the 40's. After washing and ironing them, I wondered what I'd ever do with them, so I boxed them up and stuck them back in the closet. Your new block would be great for them, so maybe someday I'll try it. ---"Love"
Great idea to recycle your scrubs!
Best wishes to you during Nurse appreciation Week. Nurses are usually great people who work very hard, long hours caring for patients in need. I thank you all.
Upcycling your scrubs for this block is an awesome idea! I made my first half rectangle triangle this winter. I wouldn’t say it was fun, but I enjoyed learning a new technique.
Very cool diamond block! Great way to use up fun scrubs!
That is a cool block!!!!
