I'm a little giddy with my
Quadrangle quilt progress this week.
A few evenings of hand stitching while watching TV and I now have seven (eight?) blocks made and ready to be pressed. It's particularly welcome on those days when I'm pooped and don't have the motivation to trundle down to the machine.
With everything cut and the coloured squares bundled and ready to go, it's easy to pick things up and make a little progress every time. The greatest part of this type of sewing is that, with the exception of several neutrals that I am using, almost everything came from my 2.5" scraps. That's when I pat myself on the back for taking the time to trim remnants rather than pitching them in the trash. A beautiful way to get something from 'nothing'!....M
Such pretty colours in your hand pieced blocks! This is something I have not done in a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI'm rather giddy about your Quadrangle quilt, too. The fabrics you are using are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad I read this post! You have motivated me to make these blocks as a scrappy use up 2 1/2” squares project. I’ve already downloaded the pattern. Can’t wait to see how yours comes together. Mine will be machine pieced. I’m thinking lights to mediums saving darks for something else.
