It feels like forever since I have been able to sew, really sew. Well, maybe it just feels that way. Family life has been very busy, in a good way, but today I found myself with a little time. There were messes and piles everywhere in my sewing space. There is no way I can get anything done with the state it was in, so I thought I'd try and clean up a little. Besides the many projects waiting for attention, look what I found.
I started these blocks over a year ago when the Scrappy Trip Along was going on. For those of you who might not have heard of the Scrappy Trip Along, it was a Quilt Along started in early 2013 based on Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Trip Quilt Tutorial.
This is the last time I remember these blocks. I had ten.
I really wanted to make this quilt so I left the strips needed for the block, laying around.
I thought I could make a block here and there.
Well, now look where I'm at! I had no idea!
I found them in a pile and thought I would lay them out and have a look see.
Gasp! I have 28!
I need just two more for a nice 60 X 72 lap quilt.
Yea, that's right just 2 more. : )
I used only scraps or fabric I've had a really long time.There are some really undesirable fabrics in there. I threw caution to the wind and let some fabrics be friends and neighbors that probably shouldn't be. I even just laid out the blocks as is and only moved one to another spot. This quilt is so fun to make and the blocks are addicting.
I think I'm going to really love this one! You can see some
