Intersections
11 inch blocks
I recently received some baggies of 8 and 9 inch squares. I had accumulated a few to add to those as well as some 8.5 inch squares. I will be using only the green and blue 8, 8.5 and 9 inch squares to make blocks and using scrap chunks in those colors to cut pieces for the center cross. I plan to make 35 blocks for a quilt 55 x 77. I'm using different measurements for the rounds (see tutorial) so I don't have to worry about matching up seams in blocks when I go to assemble them.

I was recently given a bin of 6 inch strips. I pulled out all the blues and greens to make blocks and will also use blue and green scrap chunks since I have them out already for the Intersections quilt.

And sew on...

I finished reading the medical thriller The Boomerang by Robert Bailey. A cure for cancer exists but the government wants to keep it secret.
The Peonies are in bloom. These are old ones I've separated several times and planted in different spots. I see so many fancy ones in the nursery catalogs these days. These remind me of the ones that were in the side yard between our house and the neighbor's house growing up.

I always love peonies but do not have any. love your blues and greens
I too enjoy when the peonies bloom. . .one has managed to survive here for three years! I'm always impressed with how well you turn gifted strips and chunks into quilts!
The design in those blocks is stunning. Looks like a great scrap busting project. Your peonies are so pretty. They look so delicate.
My peonies are still closed buds. My neighbors' are finished. where are my ants to open those buds? (I organic garden).
LOVE the blocks! You do magic with scraps girlfriend :-)
That book is probably closer to the truth than people know (having been in healthcare for 4 decades). And now research $$ getting cut off. Grrrrrr
Happy Friday Cathy. May your day be filled with good weather, perfect stitches and garden joy.
Those are some pretty blues and greens, and great blocks for using them, too, Cathy. Your peonies are looking very happy!
I'm a sucker for blue and green quilts. LOVE those two last blue kaleidoscope blocks. Marvelous prints. Interesting way to make a Plus Sign block. I like that the seams don't have to match. Great pictures of your flowers. Enjoy! ;^)
Loving your intersection blocks, that tutorial has always appealed to me too!
Love your blues and greens!! those top blocks are a neat design
