Playing with parts............

 

Last night I played with some of the leftover parts from Fractured.  5 blocks are alike all angle left cuts and 1 block is angle right cuts.  You can see they don't work together unless you want mirror image blocks. I could make 10 pinwheel blocks with the leftover parts.  For now they will just stay on the design wall.




I had 2 people ask me yesterday about rooting the Coleus.  I just cut a piece off with scissors and then put it in plain water.  In about a week I see roots starting.  I think I cut these about 2 weeks ago and there are enough roots to plant them.







I am almost finished with another 2 tone dishcloth.  It is fun pairing up some of the partial balls of yarn and even more fun when they actually look terrific together.

Ohhhh! Now I know what to do with my leftover fractured blocks. Thanks! I know exactly where they are going to go.

I have as much fun with the leftover pieces as I do with the original quilt, sometimes more trying to use them up.

Do you have a pattern for your wash clothes. Love how they come out.

I can only imagine what may come from your trimmings of "Fractured?" I am sure it will be yet another EXUBERANT quilt.......and something that will make my mouth drool! LOL

While searching for the fabric to finish a border, I found several orphan blocks. I guess I need a box!
