SIS (Square in Square) #2 of 4
Happy SIS?
I Spy SIS?
For a couple of years one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects was Square in Square (SIS) blocks (aka Little Chips and Economy Blocks). I used 2.5 inch scraps for the centers and a black and white 2.5 inch squares cut on the diagonals for the sides and ended up with a 3 inch finished block. Well, after a couple of years of making those I ended up with a little over 300 SIS blocks. So I divided the blocks up into a few piles and decided I could make 4 different quilts with them - four for kiddos and one for an adult.
For this quilt I picked out mostly the I Spy type SIS blocks and then used them as the centers of Happy Blocks.
I added the borders and made the Happy Blocks each month with scraps in the RSC color of the month.
And sew on...
Well done for another flimsy. Your forward planning with the RSC blocks really reaps dividends.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely SIS block quilt top, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun, I love all those prints in the centers! Congrats on another great quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat is the very definition of a Happy Quilt! Beautiful, Cathy!
ReplyDeletePerhaps your heading should be "They're Tops". That's a very impressive collection of quilts made from your SIS blocks.
ReplyDeleteI remember you churning these blocks out each month, and now you are happily churning out quilts using these lovely blocks up, well done!
ReplyDeleteVery cheerful, and what a great stack of quilts you're getting from those blocks! A very successful RSC year, I think.
ReplyDeleteHey, Sis!
ReplyDeleteThat is a perfect combination block!
Happy Chips!
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous quilt top. They are going to be so loved.
