Getting back to postage stamp blocks......

 Last night after company left I worked on my postage stamp blocks again.  I'm going to have to do several a day if I intend to finish this top by the end of this month.  I think I need 19 blocks and I have 3 sewn in one direction and the red solid color squares laid out for a fourth block.  I need to cut a LOT more print squares because I'm using the same ones over and over and I would prefer there is more variety.

Love these. Making one too out of my 1.5 squares in my bin. Cute block and love how they look together. Mine will be a long term project as i have too many irons in the fire already

Would you want scraps? I can stuff an envelope to help the 'cause'. :-)

19 would be a lot of blocks to get done by the end of the month unless that would be the only project you worked on especially since you need to cut more prints. I admire your fortitude to keep moving forward on this project!

I have one started as well but I am cheating a bit as I just couldn't do 1 1/2 inch sqs. I am doing 2 inch. I have done a lot of fussy cutting of the prints and so far I have 25 sqs. I love this! Thank you

Every block is so deliciously different. I know they must be boring to sew, but they look terrific.
