Well, I did find some time to stitch the first of three teal pickledish blocks for this month's challenge. I ran out of a black and white scrap so decided to add a few strips of a white to make it a bit more scrappy. Do you get that good feeling when you use a piece of fabric up? If you need help with some scrappy quilt ideas follow this

I don't think I've used a piece of fabric up....giggle. Lovely block.
ReplyDeleteThat might be t rue, it is hard to do.
Deletelove the teal and black! I thought I had finally used up some big pieces that I bought years ago and then realized I had some in the jelly roll strips scrap box - it won't go away :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes those scraps seems like they multiply when your not looking. But I do find them fun to use.
DeleteWhat a great combination. I can't wait to see this all come together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sally
DeleteWhy is it that using things up is so satisfying? I get the same feeling when I get to the end of anything. Another lovely block.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we realize it is a reason to go out and purchase more fabric. Thanks Angela
DeleteSo pretty! I feel quite virtuous when I use up a fabric :)
ReplyDeleteI should look for more opportunities to do that because I really think I'm something when I do it! LOL
I like being frugal and I think that is part of it. I think that is why I like scrappy quilts so much.
DeleteI like the white too, maybe some day I will use those pieces up too. So far I have made five quilts from scraps and have two more started.
ReplyDeleteI love your block....it makes me think of a cat's eye!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ellen, I have heard some refer to this block as a eyelash block. Now that you mention cat's eye I can see that also, must be the greens.
DeleteInteresting modern block! I'm trying to use up my scraps, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheila
