Well, you know that I have twenty others in the works, some of which will be finished in the next two days, but a quilter can never resist starting something new even when she is in the midst of other quilts.
One of the ladies at bee showed a lovely quilt she had made. I was looking at the block and realized it would be perfect for a child’s quilt, using the bright scraps we had been given for Scraps on a Mission. So, I interrupted finishing several baby quilts in order to make up some of the blocks. I wanted to be sure the pattern would work before I blabbed about it to one and all! *G*
These blocks will be sewn together with white sashing, but the flannel board behind the blocks gives you and idea of how it will look. I think I may make several more of these, one in teal, one in red, white and blue, and possibly one in red and black and white.
The idea for the block came from the blog “Film in the Fridge.”. Here’s a link to the tutorial the blogger created:
The dimensions in the tutorial are for cut sizes. The block turns out to be seven inches square (6.5″ finished).
So there, Cop Car! I followed through. What do you think of this? Is it a good way to use up scraps??
