Red Two Inch Scrap Edition




It has been a busy month for me (unexpected and ongoing storm clean up of downed trees, garden harvest and preservation, family reunion camp out, and learning coach for grandkids) and of course I seem to have an overabundance of red scraps that need to make it into blocks. This week I used 2 inch scraps and made Single Wedding Rings that finish at 7.5 inches to add to the pile of blocks made this year and last year. Hopefully by year end the pile will be big enough for a big quilt. 


 I've also slowly been making Sixteen Patches from 2 inch scraps for a couple of years and will hopefully by year end have a big pile for a big quilt.

I wonder how many miles your sewing machine made this week. All those little pieces on their way to becoming spectacular quilts!

Your blocks are interesting, looking forward to seeing how you put the single wedding rings blocks together, sashing? Happy stitching!

A big stack of blocks ready to come together into a big quilt sounds just right.

You sure are dedicated to your sewing, regardless of the other work all around. It must be your sanity and grounding method, to which I can totally relate. That’s a passel of lovely blocks, as usual. Lots of hard work is good for us as long as we find joy in the process. xo

Life sure is busy this time of year for you and yet you still managed to get some RSC Red sewing done. Great job!

That's a respectable pile of blocks even for someone who HASN'T been super-busy with non-sewing! Look at you go!

Red always looks good. My scrap bag is almost full so I need to think about emptying it. Your blocks are making me think.
I'm especially impressed that you are tutoring your grandkids. You are a blessing to them and an inspiration to the rest of us.
