My Leader & Ender project this year is a two rail fence--I want to make an Attic Stairs quilt (or five!).

I've got LOTS of blocks already, so I'm thinking I'll just keep making them and see how many donation quilts I wind up with. I'm using scrappy color/scrappy neutral pairs.

| One of a gazillion! |
I've also been working on a "What if I...?" quilt. When I was making Stringing Beads, I thought, "What if I used triangles instead of trapezoids in the middle of the blocks?" "Okay, what if I offset the blocks?" "Hmmm, how about if I control the colors?" I was designing a new quilt before I even finished the first one!

Here is what I have thus far:
I'm thinking of calling it Boxes of Strings. I'm going to consider borders--not sure yet how I will finish it.
So, neutral strings, neutral L & Es, and the Sapphire Stars Mystery from Kevin the Quilter includes neutrals in this clue (Clue #3)--I'm keeping up with the challenge!
I'm linking with Scrap Happy Saturday at soscrappy who is hosting the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and Fiber Tuesday 125 at The Quilting Room with Mel .
Box of Strings is great, what a good idea, think 'what if'.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Thanks, too, for visiting my blog.
DeleteWhat a fun quilt your are designing! LOVE the 2 rail quilt. What a great idea.... I think I need to really start something like that to clear out a box (or two) of my scraps! Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThe pieces go together quickly, and I can cut my leftovers from other quilts as I go.
DeleteThanks for visiting!
You've got so much creativity going on with your scraps. Glad you're having fun trying out new ideas. Keep it up! I look forward to seeing more of your ideas come to life in your quilts. Happy sewing! Andrea
