Greek Key Flimsy

It's a top!
Greek Key
54 x 72



What was in the bag in the box? 

I started working on these nine inch finished Greek Key blocks a few months ago because I had accumulated a lot of red 1.5 inch width scraps.  Now that bag of red scraps in the box of 1.5 inch width scraps is empty. My goal by year end is to completely empty the 1.5 inch width scrap box. 


I had almost enough scraps in my bag. I cut my scraps from longest strip down to shortest strip before I started making blocks. So I had a pile of 1.5 x 9.5, 1.5 x 8.5 and so on. When I got to the shortest lengths I had run out of scraps so had to cut a few 1.5 inch width strips from red scrap chunks. I was not going to use the "Merry Christmas" scraps but finally decided it's a scrap quilt and anything goes. 

I have a green one with light green and a brown one with creams in the works.

And sew on...

***
The rainy days have ended so for the next couple of days I will be back in gardening mode so may not get much sewing done.

Great finish Cathy, I've always liked the Greek Key block. I see that Anna Maria Horner has made a new quilt pattern with thatr design using fabric coming out towards the end of this year I believe.
