I have far too many dark fat quarters and a few lights, and figured out how to cut them up without hardly anything left over and make these blocks. Goal is a king-size for our bed. I picked a bunch of fabrics that are all muted colors and work well together (throw them on the floor and put back anything that jumps out and says 'I don't belong here) and did a couple samples to see whether I liked them. Oh my, this will like be a sort of BOM for me with so many other projects on the go, but they are easy and fun. I'm mixing them up with same size 6 patches in 2" squares, easy to do with alternating 15" strips then cut to 2" strips. I'll post them when the to-do list lets me. Thanks for inspiriting me -- again!!<br />Elsie Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739927333538419518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-14706057803475465572021-11-03T17:52:57.337-05:002021-11-03T17:52:57.337-05:00I TOTALLY approve of your Gridlock blocks thus far...I TOTALLY approve of your Gridlock blocks thus far!Nancy Near Philadelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08803134620826322075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-75629466757978313542021-11-03T16:04:56.943-05:002021-11-03T16:04:56.943-05:00I was thinking of doing exactly that...but I do no...I was thinking of doing exactly that...but I do not want to cut up my lovely, wonderful Marcia Derse fabric...Oh, dear...what to do???? xoO'Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350950712546652314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-55287504377093386922021-11-03T12:53:53.735-05:002021-11-03T12:53:53.735-05:00I love this . . . a very creative way to use up sc...I love this . . . a very creative way to use up scraps.

You are a numbers gal and calculating those strips in various sizes…. your brain is like a calculator figuring out what width you need before the center square. I’m sure I’d be forgetting to add seam allowance or too much. Love watching you making these grow.<br />JJMJJMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989370378727211794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-21285407237822034302021-11-03T10:58:20.248-05:002021-11-03T10:58:20.248-05:00My garden was done in by frost and pulled up a wee...My garden was done in by frost and pulled up a week ago. The cardinal climber vines on the front of the house held on until yesterday morning, due to the bricks holding enough heat to keep them going a few more days. I'm waiting until this weekend when it's supposed to be a bit warmer to cut them down though.<br /><br />So the only consistent thing about gridlock blocks is that center square? Interesting!

Tonight is going down to 30 and tomorrow night the killing freeze will hit. Like you, it's supposed to warm up again next week, so final clean up will begin. The leaves are still on many trees.

No freeze here yet, still have some straggly blooms, but I'll take it. The bulbs aren't in yet because my husband makes them wire cages so they are not eaten by the crazy squirrels.
