I am loving these blocks. Those fall colors make me happy happy happy and of course that butterscotch Moda Grunge background fabric makes me hungry.... for butterscotch pudding. Oh was a lovely childhood memory - oh wow, back to the present.
This is one of the five blocks I have sewn together. Only 20 more to go!
I have all the fall fabric pieces cut out and I'll cut the background as I progress. I like doing scrap quilts this way, where I put my blocks up on the wall and decide block by block and row by row how I want it to look. I go back and forth between sewing the HST units and square units together, to trimming a bunch up and then sewing a block or two. Even though it might be quicker to do things in a more assembly line fashion, I
like the mix of different tasks. I find it keeps me from getting bored.
And I did get my Kaffe Fasset polka dot 36 patch blocks all sewn together. However, by the time I finished last night it was too late to go outside and take a picture and I couldn't get far enough away from it to get a good shot inside. So I will leave you with a little peek.... this is Big Dude inspecting it.
He says it passes! yippee! I'll take a full picture of it outside later and post it.
Have a great week - happy stitching!
carol fun

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun pattern! I can see why you needed to make some, they look great.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to resist the Scrap Jar Star blocks. I love all the ones I've seen. The Granny squares are getting to me too tho. I always want to make everything! lol I really like your background fabric for the stars.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking blocks. I to like to mix up the jobs and do not always do the fastest way. I love butterscotch pudding.
ReplyDeleteLove those scrappy blocks! So glad you did not resist.
ReplyDeleteI really like your scrap jar quilt-maybe that would be a good one for me to do.
ReplyDeleteMy brother used to work for a food processing company and he hated it when they were canning butterscotch pudding-he said it took lots of showers to get the smell off him. I don't think they put the pudding in cans but that's how he phrased it.
Love your scrap jar blocks - they're looking great!
ReplyDeleteAhhaha! My evil plan is working! *Wink* The Scrap Jar Star fumes are filling blogland! :) Your rendition is lovely...just lovely! And I am happy to hear that your 36-patch quilt was approved! Cats have impeccable taste!
