Using the tiniest scraps...
I am making some courthouse steps blocks.
The strips are all ABOUT 1"
Some smaller.
Some larger.
First..
I begin with a teeny tiny RED center.
Then...
I add scrappy strips.
Dark and light.
AS you can see they are all a bit different in size.
That's the beauty of scrap quilting MY WAY.
I sew and sew.
I DO NOT take time to measure.
I line them up in rows that are ABOUT the same width.
Then....
When I get close to the end...
I will do some trimming.
or adding.
Whatever is needed.
I love the ADVENTURE of it all.
I also enjoy the peaceful SEWING time.
IT is a NO STRESS kind of piecing adventure.
While I am sewing
the garden is GROWING by LEAPS and bounds!!!
The zucchini is, of course, included in almost every meal.
And when we've had enough...
I'll give some to the neighbors!!
:)
What are YOU making this week?
We will be having zucchini galore this year as well. Looks like I will be starting to have it this week. I can't link up. I get an error that tells me I need a valid web address. https://new2quilting.blogspot.com/2019/07/moving-it-forward-monday.html

ReplyDeleteThey are awesome!! Love this kind of piecing
ReplyDeleteNice job with the tiny pieces. And your garden is gorgeous - enjoy the bounty!
ReplyDeletewow on the garden...I miss it so. When my husband died, so did the garden...I am very impressed....quilting and gardening
ReplyDeletePretty tiny blocks, I love your improv way to make them
ReplyDeletecute little courthouse steps blocks. I have a bunch of blue and orange shades cut to 1.5". I was going to make a very complicated pineapple piece. I've given up on that after years of trying to get the blocks done. It isn't going to happen so I plan on repurposing the strips somehow. I'm still looking for a block I want to do with these strips. And, honestly, my motivation is low!
ReplyDeleteYes to the way your make your courthouse step blocks! I had to save the idea on Pinterest so I could remember. Looking so good.:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a Blocks Post!
