Eight Patch
It's a top!
60 x 80
The blocks have been in my SAR (Some Assembly Required) bin since last year. The blocks finish at 6 x 8 inches and are made of two sets of four rectangles 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Although they could be strip pieced I prefer to cut pieces to size first and sew them together especially since some of the rectangles in the shirts had to be cut separately because there was not one piece long enough for a strip.
This is one of several block sets I made last year when I was working with '30s repro fabrics and old shirts and other plaids.
This month the theme in my sewing room is 1930s so this one made it out of the SAR and into the TBQ (To Be Quilted) pile and may even get finished by the end of the month if I find a backing.
And sew on...

I love your flimsy. I liked this block when you first started to make them and I recently started to make a few as Leaders and Enders. Only have a handful at present so it will be a time until I have enough for a small quilt. You have chosen some lovely colours.
Congrats on the flimsy! Love the design and the colors, so pretty.
I have always loved simple quilts the best! It's bright and cheery, easy to piece and goes together quickly.
I always love quilts with this pattern!
I have two sets of 2.5" strips cut for future quilts. I think I will do one set using this design - I really like it!
Just a wonderful fresh quilt. Love the colors and design.
Smashing design!! There is great movement within the blocks, love it. I too have lots of 2.5" strips cut, I mean lots!!
Just like Julie I have lots of 2.5" strips cut, I mean lots and lots, this design would be perfect.
