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.

    your little bitties are quite cute. using a white center is a neat idea. The paper pieced quilt is delectable. Such a cool design.

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

    Sawdust blocks - I love it! I've always wondered what to do with those little bits that seemed to big to throw out. What a great idea.

    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. :-)

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