A few weeks back I randomly started making scrappy blue blocks for an overall blue quilt from the scrap pile
They would be fine I guess for a scrappy look with different colored blocks 🤔Im not sure why my blocks started going in this direction as my mind was in this mode😄
no way was I unpicking them, didn't want them to become long lost orphans so I decided to cut them at an angle & still be able to achieve this block like my original plan only scrappy
Do you use gadgets to hold your rulers down?
So basically what I've created for myself is to make scrappy blocks,cut them up & sew them back to make a block🤣
Future blocks I'll make larger as to get more strips,bigger scraps from the cuts are sewn back together & cut onto strips,all strips are 2 1/2 X 10 1/2 like the quilt above that I made a few years back takes 30 blocks so it wont be priority but not forgotten , there's Fall projects, UFO's, new sewing adventures & getting ready for the holidays to get a handle on😁
Happy Thursday, Helen. A workout and quilting- how fun! Hee! Hee! Thank you for sharing the idea on using the weight for holding down the ruler- so clever.I will be trying that. Your blocks look fabulous! They look like a basket weave. Enjoy creating these beauties. Hugs.
