Lately I've been switching between so many projects, I can't decide if I'm a butterfly, a bunny or a toady frog!
I ran across a pattern for a Fourth of July flag quilt that I liked, so I thought I'd give it a try because it looks quick and easy. I'm on the email list for FaveQuilts, and this pattern comes from Sew Sweetness; she says to cut the strips 1-2/3" wide, but because I wanted to use my GO cutter I decided to cut them at 1-1/2...
I used almost all of the red and I don't want to recut all the strips, so as a quick fix I'll piece everything except that last red strip, then I'll cut another one as wide as it needs to be. It'll fly proud!
Meanwhile, I've made more of the red-and-scrappy half square triangles, and I have enough to considering another layout:
So it'll be a toss-up between that one, and the one below:
looks like seahorses! We'll see...
That's it for now, enjoy the sunshine on this Thursday, but use some sunblock! Sew forth and sew on til later...
You have been busy, nice projects. I like the first layout on the second project you working on.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you trim down your blue square to match in size to the sewn strips? another option, cut both the top and bottom red strip wider instead of one really wide one.
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy layouts are fun!
love your scraps - looks great!
ReplyDeleteLove those red half-square triangles. One of my summer goals is to do something with scraps and crumbs -- yours are inspiring because you know what I think about bright colors. Plus having red as a constant gives some focus -- something that I'm always in danger of losing. Anyone see that squirrel? LOL
