Yankee Puzzle
9 inch
I have been trying to use up a small box of 4 inch width scraps and squares. One of the blocks I have been making using those scraps is Yankee Puzzle using the tutorial at Suzy's Scraps. Note that I am using 4 inch squares and not 3.5 inch squares used in the tutorial.
I started making these last year and made one small comfort quilt top consisting of blocks with two colors. This set consists of color plus neutral. I will make a larger comfort quilt with this set consisting of 48 blocks. I now have 36 of my 48 blocks.
Buckeye Beauty
8 inch
I made a few green blocks from some 2.5 inch squares in the Parts Dept. and from green scraps in the 4.5 inch width scrap box.
I started making these blocks last year.
After I made the blocks with green scraps I noticed I only needed 7 more blocks to meet my goal of 80 blocks.
So I dug into my Parts Dept. and my 4.5 inch width scrap box, made 7 more blocks and met my goal. I now have a complete block set of Buckeye Beauties for a comfort quilt 64 x 80 inches (8 x 10 blocks).
Going where the scraps take me and enjoying the journey!
And sew on...
Fun blocks! I love the variety of backgrounds mixed in with the colors. Great job!
