Good day, and welcome to my blog. Thanks for stopping by.
Last week I wrote about starting a quilt project (This and That, from Quilted Twins) in warm colors. This week I progressed on that project.
I sewed 72 16-patch blocks in assorted colors. I measured, trimmed, and squared them up.
Luckily, they were the right size or only slightly larger than 6.5 inches, unfinished. I then started making 'snowball' blocks on 36 of these blocks:
I am using Kona Snow fabric. I wish I had a pale pale yellow but I am not going to buy more fabric for this project.
As mentioned before, I cut into my scraps and fat quarters with wild abandon, not counting. This habit backfired on this project as I have lots of strips and squares left over:
Yes that's the leftovers after making 72 blocks. I must think of another pattern to use them up. There is quite a bit left.
To do: Finish the snowball blocks. Cut sashing and cornerstones, and start assembly of the quilt top.
Linking up with Monday Musings, Sew and Tell at Melva Loves Scraps, Wednesday Wait Loss, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-Marie, Finished or Not at Alycia Quilts, From Bolt to Beauty, Frederique at Quilting, Patchwork, Applique, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

A lovely palette! The leftover look like the beginnings of a stack of potato chip units to me....
