I am so in the spring mood! Over the weekend I pulled out and went through a bin of some floral fabric that I had purchased for making purses(which I no longer am making). These morning glories caught my attention and I remembered I had made a wedge runner with them before. That one having sold I could use another. Quilting on it should happen this week.
My scrap bins are out of control and they have been that way for a long time. No time like the present to go through a few and cut for a potato chip block. One stack of bricks cut on Saturday and one on Sunday. Didn't even make a tiny dimple in the scrap bag, in fact I swear it grew instead of shrink!!! I am so itching to sew a few blocks but I am still thinking if I want to do each block in a colorway or just mix all the colors in one block.

Hum, that wedge runner is nifty. I have one but haven't made anything with it in years. So, what size is your brick blocks -- 2 on one die would be nice -- I have the one in the 9" cube and also a 6.5 by 3.5. I tend to cut either size just to move out my scraps. I'm trying to clear off the front of my cutting table by cutting whatever size I can from the scraps covering it. I can see the difference but there is a lot still to do. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLove the morning glory print! I'm interested in seeing your potato chip blocks!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true about scraps, but you are making a dent and that counts. I see some heavy "cutting" in my future with my dyes and my scraps...after the reorg of the house with all the things that arrived yesterday! I am tired of moving scrap piles, and am committed to doing something about it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I forgot to say, I love the morning glory runner. They remind me of my Grandmother's front porch.
ReplyDeleteYour S-shaped runners are just fabulous. One day I have to give that a try!! Thanks for sharing with us on Monday Musings!
ReplyDeleteI desperately need to take out the GO Big and cut up some scraps.
