I finished quilting the little crooked cobblestone quilt and then decided to play with scraps. I have been cutting triangles out of most leftovers as I create them. I found another pile of older scraps and pressed and cut them too with my die cutter. I have a box of 4" finished size too. The ones in the photo are 2" and 3" finished. I love the nipped off corners that the dies have.
I made a sample block with the signature strip and 3" triangles. I was hoping the proportion would be right for a block I have been seeing on blogs but it isn't. This will make a neat dark lattice over a light background so I'll keep cutting pieces and making blocks.
There was an older Jesse Stone movie on the Hallmark channel last night and I'm sure I have seen it before but I couldn't remember enough of it to be bored so I sat and made some more cobblestone blocks and strip piecing while I watched it. It was a dreary day at 30 degrees and light flurries all day. I needed some bright color to go along with that.
I always seem to have the tv on too while piecing and quilting - last night we popped in Aliens 2, I was quilting and only half way watching but hubby enjoyed seeing the movie - I actually didn't remember most of it. Karen
I love your scrap play! And the cobblestones look fantastic too. We had crazy weather yesterday too - very windy. My internet was out for most of the day. Too bad I can't watch television while I sew. Hmmm, may have to do something about that.
Wanda, I noticed that someone else commented on your sewing table as well - did it come with your machine or did you buy it separately? Either way I would love to know where you bought it/what is is called. Thanks!
Your fabrics are always so wonderful. Your constant working on your quilts is awesome. Really it is .
Would you believe this is our second day of 50 degrees with beautiful sunshine. Supposedly tomorrow also. Our weather will hit you in a few days to warm you up.
You're always beautifully productive, whether playing with WOF cuts or your scraps. I'll watch anything with Tom Selleck, including the Jesse Stone movies, but I really miss his mustache and those Magnum stories in Hawaii.
I love your discipline with keeping your scraps cut and ready to sew. Sewing with Tom Selleck...sigh...I adore him in the Jesse Stone movies, as well as Blue Bloods. He's a class act, IMHO.

Looks like the color did stimulate your need to sew. Today is my day. Last couple days I cleaned. Stay busy and something gets done. Chris
ReplyDeleteJust pouring rain all weekend here in England .Nothing to inspire sewing
ReplyDeleteWanda, I am glad to know I am not the only one who pieces while watching movies. You know I love those bright colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast. Wanda where did you get your sewing table? I need one badley.
