Red Scraps Chapter II

Wonky Windmills
Gray backgrounds
8 inch finished

This week I used some 4.5 inch scraps to make some Wonky Windmills and...

...Kaleidoscope Blocks
Yellow backgrounds
8 inches finished

Boo Boo Patch (18 Patch)
3 x 6 finished
Made from 1.5 inch scraps
Named Boo Boo Patch because when I first started makinng the blocks I meant to make them out of 1.5 x 2.5 inch pieces but miscalculated the strip size needed so ended up with 1.5 x 1.5 inch pieces instead and went with that.   It's all good because most of the time when I have 1.5 inch width scraps they aren't long enough to make the 18 Patch as I originally intended. 




And sew on...

You’ve got lotsa red going on. I’ve printed the clues for Stars Like Spaghetti, but haven’t started yet! I’ve got some other projects needing my attention first! I like it though! Your blocks are great!

Such great reds in various blocks. I"m quite taken with the wonky windmills...I wonder would they suit my Bramble Blooms for a border. Thinking out loud here.Happy Stitching from me!

Your Boo Boos could turn into a very unique quilt with new design possibilities. This could be the opportunity of a lifetime.
