While I didn’t do any sewing this weekend, I did pull out a box of blocks I’d been making. You may recall that I’ve been making four patches out of scrap 2.5″ blocks as leaders and enders. I wanted to get as close to emptying the bin I keep them in as possible.

While working on the Catmas Tree quilt, I’d almost emptied the bin, so I decided it was time to stop and do a count! I had 225 blocks total! Far more than I thought I’d made.
This weekend, I pulled them out and started laying them out on the bed. I knew I wanted to put them on point with plain white blocks in between. I needed to see how many white blocks I would need to cut.

With NO help from Lemmy, I covered the bed. And realized it had taken only 99 blocks to do so! I have more than double that! So it looks like I will be making a much bigger quilt. And instead of figuring it all out on top of the bed, I’m going to have to get out some graph paper.
Then I have a whole lot of white blocks to cut!

Lemmy won’t be any help with that either, I’m sure!
Great job on the four-patches! Love the last photo of your helper.

Lemmy is helping as he showers you with cuteness, no?

I think my favorite quilts are the true scrap quilts. This is going to be wonderful. I really think Lemmy has great opinions. That last photo is great! π
