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!

Ooh, this is going to be gorgeous!
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! 🙂
