I measure and cut these bits into 1 1/2" inch 'strips' and using my Easy Angle...viola a collection of purple hst bound triangles to make the 28 hst's for another block for my Farmer's Wife Quilt sow-a-long lead by Randy at Barrister's Block.
I love the fact that I could use those bits up and work on two great quilts simultaneously. Of note, this beautiful block finishes at 6".

Great way to use up those scraps - I love the two from one deal!
ReplyDeleteHI Ellen, thank you very much for your comments. I have another block made tonight using more purple scraps off the table...Dove in the Window. I shall be posting that very shortly.
DeleteKathy, I follow Randy's blog and kept seeing her blocks but didn't understand that she was posting directions for the Farmer's Wife quilt. Now that I'm in the midst of Easy Street, I think I should postpone starting on the Farmer's Wife blocks! I like to work on two quilts but Easy Street seems to have so much going on that it would be overload (for me) to begin another quilt. But thanks again for the link and explanation. I'll save Randy's link that you posted and have a look at it again a little later.

Hi Nancy, I have been working on the Farmer's wife quilt since early in the year. I have taken the summer and fall off but am now back at it. I have 63 of the 111 blocks made, and depending on how large I wish to make it, I could be finished...but no, not me, I love to make large quilts and have been toying with several design layouts. Stand by to see that progress on that front.
Deletethanks for your comments

P.S. I'm like you and save even the smallest scraps. I think I only throw away those that would disappear with 1/4" seams!
