Blue Scraps Part IV

X and Plus 

7.5 inch finished

Made with 3.5 and 2 inch scrap pieces

I've been making these for a couple of years and I think I only have 20 or so more blocks to go toward my goal. I think those remaining blocks will be browns.   

In previous years I made 6 inch (finished) Four Patches with 3.5 inch squares and neutrals. This year I'm making an alternate six inch (finished) block of QSTs made with 2 inch scraps. I cut those pieces with an Easy Angle Companion ruler.   When I use that ruler the beginning and end of the strip I cut off an HST with the Easy Angler ruler. With those HSTs I've been making little 3 inch (finished) Broken Dishes blocks. 

Indian Hatchet blocks

4 inch finished

I was inspired by a vintage quilt.

Bow Ties

3 inch finished

Made from 2 inch scraps

If there was not enough left of a 2 inch width scrap to make Bow Ties then I cut a 2 inch square if possible. And if less than a square then I sewed those pieces together for a future Chinese Coin strip. 

While I was making the blue Bow Ties I made some others I had cut out and waiting to be made. I cut them out as I was processing scraps. 

The same thing happened when I was processing those scraps - 2 inch squares and a Coins strip.
