Cups and Saucers is moving along

 Hello and welcome to my blog, where I keep track of quilt project progress and finished projects.

I have been immersed this week in a new project - the Cups and Saucers pattern, done up in vintage fabric and feedsacks, and Kona Snow fabric for the background.  I now have about 15 blocks done.  Here they are laid out on the floor of my sewing room:

I know I want to put sashing between the blocks.  I am still undecided on whether it will be 1 inch or 2 inches wide, finished.

The blocks finish at 12 inches square.  I am aiming for a 5 by 6 block setting so I am about halfway done.

I am using this pattern:

Remember a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance, or the geese blocks will be a touch too small.

New Start: Cups and Saucers pattern

 Good day, and thanks for visiting my blog!

Don't we all like a new start, now and again?

I pulled out my vintage fabric and feedsacks and had a cutting part last week and during this week. I have purchased items off ebay when I can get them at a good price, or at antique fairs, or antique malls, even at thrift stores.  I cut squares of feedsacks and backing fabric (Kona Snow) for no waste flying geese:

Remember a scant 1/4 inch seam allowance, or the geese blocks will be a touch too small.  

And put together 12 inch blocks using this pattern:

It's fun to see the blocks come together. 

These are the first two blocks to be made.  Since I had all my vintage feedsacks out, I also cut squares for two other projects.  I'll get to them later this spring or summer.  I am having fun with these blocks.  I now have 6 blocks made.  More on these next week!
