I'm only showing 6 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 greens 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.
I previously blogged about a pink and a blue version of Contessa. Maybe next month I will assemble and quilt all three.
And sew on...
Going where the scraps take me and making comfort quilts one scrap at a time.

Heat wave here and I don't have air conditioning in this old farm house so I'm not going to do much for a couple of days except sit near a couple of fans and sew.

We've been getting a lot of rain & heat waves that make it unbearable to be outside,the green blocks are looking good
Fans sound nice! I'm thankful for the central air my hubby insisted on putting in a few years back. I fought it, but the window shakers weren't doing much good and so noisy! Even so, the upstairs stays pretty warm (where my sewing room is), so fans still spin and I often find myself reading because it doesn't require an iron! The green blocks are a fun review of your stash and remind me of rows of plants in the garden.
I feel so sorry for you not having A/C I know a lot of people don't I remember years ago when we didn't and my mom and dad had no air conditioning for years when they moved to Arkansas the humidity was horrible when we would visit. I hope your humidity is not too bad.
Your greens are appropriate for me as I type this—we are rolling through the countryside in County Tipperary en route to an Irish farm. Sunny and 70 today. Nann
I love your quilts they are so bright and happy. I can tell you love color and quilting. Stay as cool as you can. Good day to spend the day at the library.
Heat is ramping up here, too, Cathy; sewing quietly is a good thing to do to while you stay cool in front of that fan...hugs, Julierose
