I guess it is part of that scrap challenge, but I pulled my totes of left over Marcus - FQs, scraps, and skinny strings.
Since I have finished up all the testing and quilting projects, I wanted to get started on the Westering Women BOM with Barbara Brackman. I love the mix of history with quilts.
And I do love the heritage of the old blocks. While playing with these and going thru those totes, I realized the cut offs and 'too small' bits would be perfect to play with..........
Temecula Quilt Co.'s 'Circa 2016' quilt along. Yup, I put these little blocks together in a day to catch up with the center medallion of this quilt. Don't hate me, I just really love playing with little bits and lose myself in them.
Even the next round of blocks got made. I have no idea how many of these will be addded to the quilt, but I will certainly use my cut-offs from Westering to make these.
And to play along with Monday Making, I will start my 'Let's Book It' project. I know, I was going to use up those odd layer cakes - BUT, I came across this JR and will use up some odd strips to fill in.
For the life of me, I couldn't get this to photo in true color, but it is blacks, greys, limey greens with just a smidge of yellow thrown in (some of the greens show as yellow). I hope to get half of the blocks done today. And this project will give me *bonus* little HSTs for another project. SCORE!!

I'm with you on enjoying the history with the Westering Women, it's fascinating. I like your pile of black, whites and limey greens, I've seen a few quilts with those colors and they're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can see how much fun you have playing with scraps. You take little pieces and bring them to life as a beautiful quilt. Thanks for alway encouraging us to use our scraps.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly do a great job of using up all those little bits.
ReplyDeleteI think we need a new nick name for you ....like amazing quilter guru! Your accomplished blocks are wonderful, but that Circa 2016 has me drooling over it:) Great job.
