Today I will play with the 16-patches made from the light and limey greens pulled from the 1.5" barrel. I didn't have enough of the red chicken wire fabric, but found a close red in my homespuns. So half the blocks will be set wire and half in plaid.
I like to make geese blocks with the flip-and-clip method so I have the bonus triangles. Since these are small, I'm setting them as hour-glass blocks and they might just go into the border for this OR maybe a pillow top to go with the quilt.
I'll use the Shoe Fly blocks as leader/enders while working on those stars. I have 70 blocks so far and not sure how many I will set the limit to yet. They are cute!! AND they are using up some of the smallest scraps. Because someone will ask, I'm using a 2.5" center and 1.5" HST with 1.5" x 2.5" braces - making them 4.5" unfinished.
Linking up with Beth

Love your blocks. The red and green are pretty and the shoe fly blocks are adorable
I absolutely LOVE both of these projects!! SEW classic. And...SEW scrappy!
