I started off by stitching more half square triangles and I'm getting quite a collection of them in the 2" and 2.5" sizes so that will help me to determine which pattern I will choose for my next scrap busting project. In the meantime I have attached 2 more rows to my Bonnie Hunter quilt- Blue Ridge Beauty. Bonnie's is lovely in blues and beige but I am making mine in a scrappy mix of light and dark fabrics and using 2.5" squares as I have more of them than the 2" squares that Bonnie's pattern uses.
I also made more blocks and only have 3 more left to make and then will add borders.
While I was tidying up more scraps I made up some QAYG blocks as that bin is now overflowing with batting leftovers. I think I need to put another QAYG quilt together as well to use up more of these blocks and they will make a good quilt to donate for Christmas too.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog.
Hugs, Jan Mac
Another prolific day for you on the scrap quilt and block making front. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI have been turning my 1.75" HSTs into pinwheels. Had a sudden thought tonight that I was gifted another bag of these paired triangle scraps months ago and pushed them away into a drawer. Heavens, just found them - the bag is two or three times larger than the one I have just dealt with. Help!
