What am I working on?


I am sort of in the middle of a few long term projects and I am waiting for some fabric to arrive for a baby quilt so what am I working on????  My road to fortune blocks are growing.  I do like these.  One a week until I have enough to say it is done.

The Road to Fortune blocks are great scrap busters but as I am sure you know that paper piecing creates lots of small bits of leftovers.  I throw them all into a bag and the other day, I actually turned the little itty bitties into these...


4" square paper pieced crazy blocks.  I like them!  I am not sure what they will be but I am quite content making more of them!  Sawdust blocks!

Linking up with Lee for Work In Progress Wednesday and the Needle and Thread Network.

  6. So pretty on both counts... it seems my definition of "scrap" keeps getting smaller so I love your idea for the tiniest of them!

  10. Yay for sawdust blocks!! I love them! I find it really hard to part with the crumbs, too. You can tell hubs that you've made the quilter's equivalent of MDF. :-)

  13. That's a great idea for the leftover bits from paper piecing. You'll soon have a scrappy quilt top.
