I'm only showing 8 blocks of the completed 24 block set.
Blocks finish at 10 inches. Quilt will finish at 40 x 60.
This is going into the SAR (Some Assembly Required) bin to be assembled into a top at a future date.
I decided to make these blocks because I had noticed a lot of pinks in my 2.5 inch width scrap bin.
(It is actually what I call a Basket Weave pattern).
BUT
I didn't use a jellyroll.
I didn't make as many blocks.
I didn't make stripsets of 5 WOF strips (because I didn't have that many). Instead I made 4 strip sets of 3 or 4 strips and then cut them into the 6.5 inch sections and added 2.5 x 6.5 inch rectangle(s) (from 2.5 inch width scrap bin) to the ends of each section.
Yesterday I showed the blue version of Contessa and I think I will have enough for a green Contessa one of these days.
And sew on...
Going where the scraps take me and making comfort quilts one scrap at a time.
Loved the blue one and this one- green would also be fabulous. Great job. Love how you can go with what you have- a real skill!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to use what you have on hand--love the pinks you used!
ReplyDeleteI hope to be able to do a bit of machine sewing today--fingers crossed--stay cool
hugs, Julierose
Since there is no word to define a group of contessas, I will go with the word ' series ' . I can see a whole series in all different colors. Oh no...I'm beginning to formulate a plan! Lol.
ReplyDeletePretty combinations of pinks, I don't think we will ever run out of scraps😄
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to that download - I want to play around with the idea. Might not ever become something, but doodling ideas is always worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. You will have several Contessas in a row!
ReplyDeleteYou are moving those strips at an incredible speed. Can we say you are a master stripper? Lol. Love the little hearts on the black and white background. Enjoy! ;^)
