The purple blocks joined the club today. I started later in the day so I didn't get as many done as I wanted. Five is nothing to sneeze though. It was a rainy weekend. I'm thinking that perhaps these will get sashed in a gray solid and trimmed to 15" square with the gray around it. But, I have a long time to make that decision. Right now they are getting trimmed to rectangles as large as they can be. Why make uniform sized blocks?
I made very little progress last weekend on the quarter log cabin scrap quilt from Sunday Morning Quilts. The main parts of these larger blocks have been sitting untouched for over a year in a visible location. This is not my favorite form of scrap quilting. It just takes me too long and I have to think too much to try to keep it square. I think this will become some other slab scrap quilt with multicolored blocks. A string quilt with my string scraps will probably happen instead because I like making those and they are fast for me.
And here is the stacked coin quilt for Katie's Comforters Guild. I chose the binding fabric, but have made no effort to go beyond that today.
You have been busy! Lots of fun color here :) I love your big design wall space, I am wishing my room was a bit bigger so I could incorporate one myself...the floor and the front of the closet are both getting pretty inconvenient!! Hope your weather is stellar, we are supposed to see 68 today though the low 40s for the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a lot accomplished this weekend! Don't you just love when the rain allows you to sew without guilt? :) I really like the idea of pulling from your scrap bin to create monochromatic blocks. I'm looking forward to seeing what this quilt will become. I also want to see what you come up with from those birch tree block scraps. Love the purple colors. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely! Would you like me to post on our blog and facebook page about the one you are donating to Katie's Comforters Guild, or no? Thank you so much for continuing to support our work!
