A little bit of fun sewing.............

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.

  1. 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 :)

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

  4. 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.

  6. What a gloriously scrappy quilt these will become.
