After quilting for over 4 hours on the zipper quilt I needed some mindless sewing. I have at least 5.5 more hours of quilting on it. I have a LOT of the first cuts off batik fabrics so I grabbed a handful and sewed some blocks. The piece at the right will probably be used in a zippered pouch.
I have 54 older blocks, some pieced over 3 years ago, some pieced late summer in 2017. I don't have a plan for them yet and will keep adding to the pile. I would like to make a bed size quilt with them.
I love scrappy sewing so I'll follow this 'fun' series with great interest. I've been cutting/sewing blocks for a baby quilt, making it up as I go along. I love sewing with just an idea in my head. I want to add a name made with scrappy letters but not done that before so will be interesting how that works out :)
Love the blocks and you have given me an idea for a future quilt for our eldest grandson! I have such a stash of batiks but unlike yourself don't have any first cuts, free hand cutting into my batiks should give a similar result and I do need something easy to sew at the moment.

These blocks look so terrific. I am sure you can make them work all together.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pile of blocks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gloriously scrappy quilt these will become.
