I made it up to the 25 I was planning, and then I went that extra square foot with some mini, 2.5" blocks to break up the sashing.
I need to make some strips for skinny sashing and binding, then I'll be ready for piecing... I have a cunning plan!
I have kind of raced ahead, doing my own thing even though this was meant to be part of the quiltalong, but I am trying to keep to the spirit of Aneela's original quilt, even though her scraps are all totally beautiful, and mine, well, aren't!
Oh, they most definitely are beautiful. I love how these are turning out and love seeing your new ones. Its great seeing them all together, love the colour graduation in them. I even have my scraps out this morning to try one myself, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely - I can't wait to see what you have planned. I've just been having a closer look and I'm really jealous of your scraps. I spy Echino, Momo, Lizzy House, Laurie Wisbrun, Jay McCarroll & Erin McMorris in there. You've put them together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOh, and what is the doggy fabric please?
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are amazing, and look even more so when they are all lined up together. I put my name down for Aneela's and want to give the blocks a try but seriously do not think I have enough scraps in each colour to do a rainbow. Thinking my blocks might be mini rainbows in themselves.
ReplyDeleteYour scraps ARE totally beautiful. I am obsessed with these blocks and look forward to seeing them every day.
ReplyDeleteThese are so gorgeous, I can't wait to see what you do with the sashing blocks
ReplyDeleteNo question, they're absolutely gorgeous! How did you get such a fabulous scrap stash? No, dont tell me, I'm sure I'd start going green... Loving it so far!

ReplyDeleteoh, but they are lovely - both the bigger ones and the minis.
ReplyDeleteTo name some of my favourites: the swan (or is it a goose? anyway it's cute), the tree (I love that with the striped fabric at the bottom it looks almost as if it were in a pot), the little blue birdie (somehow it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland)
ok, I'd better stop now :)
