Maybe the four sets of blocks were in one pile. But to me there were 4 stacks of blocks. The blocks were pieced sometime in the last year and for whatever reason were set aside. So don't think I've been that busy.
Puss in the corner is a favorite antique block. When I found the blocks a few months ago I didn't remember liking these so much. But there was 1 thing I didn't like. I had 1 green block in the mix. Yuk. Easy remedy. I hadn't cut the alternate blocks yet so cut those. I knew it was going to be small but it was too small to please me so I made more blocks and added 3 rows, without using any green.
The stars for Route 55 were made at camp along Route 55 in northern Wisconsin. It was autumn and pretty much peak autumn color that were these colors. I filled the spot for 6 blocks with a favorite green leaf print. Not because I didn't want to make more for a bigger quilt, but cause I liked the print and didn't like it for a border. I thought they would offer some relief from the repeat of the blocks. Looks a bit dark in the picture. Not always easy for me to get the color right in a quilt photo.
These pinwheels were another fix for a quilt I started but didn't like. I already made 1 quilt with some of the pieces I had cut. With the remaining pieces I made some orphan blocks which will likely end up together in a sampler using batiks. That's for another time. This will go to a nursing home as a wheelchair quilt.
These flowery blocks have been together a few months; but then I spotted the border fabric. Yes, in my stash. Kinda made sense to use it.
I also got a border started on another one of Lisa's. And quilted a little one of mine today. I imagine there will be more soon. Yay!
