It was back to work this week but thankfully working at home today so I can take a break and make a post.
Thought I would share my basket case blocks so far..... 13 done....... 23 to go. Really enjoying making these.
9 Patch blocks have been growing in number too. I have close to 50 now. I am finding them quick and easy to sew up when I get time to have a sit at the sewing machine.
I have always wanted to make a red and cream quilt and because I am loving these blocks so much I thought it might be good to start another 9 patch project.. Most blocks I find a bit stressful to put together and I get bored easily so 9 patch blocks it is! They are small and easy to handle, no fussy cutting or piecing. Great to work on whenever I get the time. So earlier this week I got to it cutting 1 1/2"strips of reds and creams, both of which are quite abundant in my stash. After all that cutting there is only a small dent in my stash. Once these are used up there is plenty to cut more from.
Happy days!
