Winter has been harsh around these parts, so the scavenging for treats continues as you can imagine. Mr. Pig is a picky eater, wanting fresh white bread for his sandwich while completely ignoring his hungry wife.. poor Mrs. Pig! On the other hand, squirrel looks content nibbling on a nut, enjoying a rare sunny day... I hope sun is keeping you warm and cheerful where you are :)
When I thought there are enough blocks for the quilt, I toyed with the idea of making four patches with leftover 2" squares and setting them as corner stones.
I also lingered over the selection of sashing, whether to use a natural linen or go with a white fabric. After laying out the pieces, I felt linen was making it darker than I expected and the four patches were distracting from my original plan of keeping it simple.
So I saved four patches for another time and opted to use a white sashing with these tiny pink flowers for the corner stones. I am still not clear about how big I want this quilt, I will have to think about it before the top is done.
I was working on 'Scrapitude' mystery quilt on the side and finished 25 blocks from the spare parts we have sewn before. I am thrilled that this beautiful radiant star block came out of the mystery and as Sandy mentioned, 'Party hats' is a perfect name for this scrap happy block.
These are the setting blocks ready for the final layout. Two more weeks feels like a long wait when the instructions to put these blocks together will be posted. This is going to be a very bright, colorful quilt.
Thank you for stopping by! Have a great weekend! ( ' u ' )
Sweet little blocks. I like your setting. The scraptitude blocks are amazing and fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing it all together.
ReplyDeleteI think your setting is perfect, Pratima! Maybe Mrs. Pig will sneak away for a treat herself ;>) Your scrap blocks are so bright and pretty! Isn't it fun to work with spare parts?
