Today will be a MINI day. Working with 1.5" squares and strips for the Puss-in-the-Corner blocks and H blocks. Working mini blocks means they take a lot more to make a quilt, but what fun and variety.
They are pinned in groups of 10 to make 'counting' easier as well as I work them each 10 at a time - this seems like a comfortable pace for me right now. I did figure a rough plan with each and will need 370 of the Puss blocks and 460 of the H blocks - a long ways to go. These are both long term, have fun projects.
And I pulled my shoe box tote of CW skinnies to work on the new Temecula summer mini project. The 3rd block was just released and I need to catch up with this one. Since this will be a wallhanging finish, this tote should empty nicely into this piece.

Over 800 mini blocks is a LOT of blocks. Have fun with them.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I love little bitty quilt blocks. Your plan of working in groups of 10 is smart; I shall use that idea. Thanks for linking up with Design Wall Mondays.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you are sewing along with Temecula's mini project... me too!
ReplyDeleteI think block #2 was just posted today!
Lots of small pieces, so glad you are starting to make progress, I can see those numbers adding up already.
ReplyDeleteI'm just finishing a chain quilt made of 1.5 squares and I have to admit that more than once I thought "Sharon would love this, Sharon is crazy" LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love your small blocks and they will make an amazing quilt! I'm glad you are doing the Temecula mini as well. I love their little blocks and they are so much fun.
ReplyDeleteWow, I love the idea of using tiny blocks but that has not been one of my projects so far. I do want to use more scraps like you do though.
ReplyDeleteI love little things. I bet it's going to be fun sewing on them and watching them grow.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great plan for all those little scraps.
