How does Wednesday keep sneaking up on me??
I have a few things to link up that I have been working on so will share here.
In my charity bee this month we are doing 2 different blocks.
One uses 3.5" squares to make a 4 patch and
one uses the same 3.5" squares on the corners of a 6.5" center to form a square in a square.
She wanted us to use from our scraps so I took that to heart!
I dug into my scraps and pulled out every scrap that I could cut 3.5" squares from
(look at all of those scraps!!!)
I also cut 1.5" x variable length pieces from the left overs for my other scrap quilt.
These are the four 4 patch blocks I made
These are my four square in a square blocks.
I then decided that I would cut all my scrap fabric that I had sorted out
into 3.5" squares to use as a leader ender project.
Then I would keep that for my own.
Hubby LOVES scrap quilts.
Going through all the scraps made me remember all the quilts that I have made!
Autumn was digging in my scrap bin too.
Until she decided it was too much work and she settled in to rest.
Eventually the lure of my water bottle called her name and she decided to lay on my sorted scraps!
This was the pile of usable (I could cut 3.5" squares from) scraps.
After cutting MOST of the day on Friday and into the evening, you can see the pile I was left with. You can also see the pile of 3.5" squares and
the smaller 1.5 x various size pieces to the right of the squares.
I had a lot of duplicate squares though and was thinking
if anyone wanted to swap 3.5" squares with me I would be game.
Autumn and I were exhausted at the end of it all. I had to ice my hands and she just took a nap!
