Good Day, and welcome to my blog.
I decided to try a few of the Leaders and Enders blocks designed by Bonnie Hunter - the County Clare pattern. See her blog for more information.
I am working in 30's reproduction fabrics as I have a good number of scraps and pieces laying around. The background fabric is leftover quilt backing fabric. I am making chains of blue fabrics, and the small squares are of all kinds of colors.
Soon, I had a small pile of blocks.
And sometimes, I centered a dog or cat or child seen in the fabric used.
As in the two Scotty dogs above. Although Bonnie cautioned readers not to go too fast, but use the block as a leader and ender, I now have almost enough for a small baby quilt:
I still need some blocks. The "chains" of blue are not as prominent as I would like. It may looks better once it is sewn together. But, these blocks are packed away for now. A new shiny object - a new pattern - has caught my eye. But more on that next week.

Lovely project for those sweet repro prints, Viridian!
You have gone to town with this leader/ender project. I like it as it is! Me. . who has printed the pattern; but, it still making Triple Treat blocks!
So fun to look at other people's quilts and compare which 30s fabrics they have. I have only sewed one wall hanging with 30s this year. Love your design and hope you will finish it. Can't wait to see what new project you are starting.
Ohh what fun!! I saw that block - and I really like how you used your 30's prints!! Maybe blue in the setting triangles will make that blue chain pop out? Love it so far!
Interesting but cute blocks. I still am not even sure what leaders and enders are.
