I had leftover 2 1/2 in strips and squares cut from last year that I needed to find blocks for. Zipper blocks and hollow nines work great! I also had a lot more green scrap to use up and have been wanting to do some sort of windmill block. Does anyone know if there is an official name for that block? I don't know what to call it.
It feels good to be working on some new blocks this year. I still have a lot of green to go and the days go by so fast!
I have a list of the blocks I'd like to make this year for the rainbow scrap challenge. I think I have a few too many on the list so I'll see what I can get through in a month and stick with it for the year.
This week I made 10 chandelier blocks. Those were super easy, fun and a quick finish. I will definitely stick with making these this year.
Also worked on making some crumb fabric to cut blocks from. I need to go in search of some more nice green scraps. A lot of the scraps in my bin are more sage colors. That gives me a good reason to go in search of scraps that need to be combined anyway.
Next up....
Hollow 9 patches
Zipper blocks
Maybe windmills?
There are more on the list but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
This work in progress is taking me into the new year.
Into these nice boxes...
And only a little left over.
Child #2 helped me make my new list on the new computer with the new programs. I think I'm ready...
Bring on the new year!
Just got back from a quilting retreat. I finished this quilt top in a flash! Most of the fabrics are Tim Holtz. I found the free pattern online. I'm thinking about making another with all the same background fabric. Definitely loved this for big print pieces!
Oh, WOW! This one is my favorite! The colors in this pic don't do it justice! This one will be in the center! Wish I would have fussy cut more centers! I can't believe how much I love this one!
