I told you all about 52 week Quilt Block Challenges that got me excited about making blocks HERE. I am still "LOVING THE PROCESS"! I almost always go "scrappy" with any quilt, but this time I decided to make my Glying Geese blocks scrappy but stay in the same color range within the block. Pieces as small as 2 inches can be worked into a block! It's awesome. I have been cutting and sorting fabrics into color stacks and auditioning blocks within the blocks, not sewing them together until I absolutely love the way they look. I have 5 Flying Geese blocks finished, but larger and smaller half squares and fabrics for many many more half squares cut and ready to be sewn together.
JANUARY-- UP ON THE BOARD!
BROWN!
BLUE!
GREEN!
RUST!
AND GOLD!
Here is my sewing machine table with pink sets being auditioned and 2 1/2 inch squares ready to be sewn into half squares. Making sure no fabric that I don't absolutely love goes into each block. I had to search for pinks that I would use to put into a quilt as I am not a pink lover. Ten more blocks to be caught up with this challenge then on to the
CAKE STAND blocks. I have this darling wicker basket where they will soon be piling up!!
I have the pieces cut and bagged--enough for 14 more blocks which will be thru March.
And last but certainly not least, is the Quilted Moose Quilt Shop 2019 ---9 inch double 9 Patch block.
All I have done for this one is cut strips. All scrappy blue, I can't wait until their turn to go to the sewing machine table.
Here is my stash of cut pieces to use for scrap quilts. I cut different sizes of squares from scraps instead of throwing them away. This stash has really come in handy for these challenges. This triple decker stacker is a Christmas Ornament storage box. You need one!!!
Love to all my quilting friends (if you are still out there)!
Have a great week!!! BE BLESSED!
