These jars are lovely for seeing what you have, and you can dip your hand right inside to pull out what you need. Even though this project is meant to be using up scraps, I seem to have created more in the process. For this project I have been storing my red and white scraps in a giant glass sweet jar. Talking of scraps, my scrap jars have recently multiplied. Giant sweet jars filled with fabric scraps

Originally the central star of Block 46 was going to be all calico, but at the last minute, I popped in a little red pindot - who doesn't like a little red pindot? When choosing fabrics for each block I easily fall into the trap of just sticking to a few favourites, but in this scrap quilt, the more the merrier, so the pindot is a welcome addition. I was also careful to 'fussy' cut the outer striped fabric, so it is the same on each side - I think I am gradually learning. Altering the original block, I have added the cornerstones to the outside border, as it made it easier to negotiate the stripe on the corner. However, depending on the complexity of the English paper piecing in the centre, it can tend to make the straight edges bulge. They are quite fun to do in terms of choosing the fabric combinations. There are several blocks in this style in the Nearly Insane Quilt, where the block is made up of diminishing squares (see Block 11, 39). Hearted Vine Red, Midwinter Reds, Minick & Simpson, Moda 14763-11 The clocks have gone forward today - for once I have excuse for where the time has gone! Today I am spending some time in my workroom preparing some of my Nearly Insane blocks, cutting out the fabrics pieces ready for stitching - a good excuse for playing with my red and white fabric stash and enjoy choosing those combinations.

When you see the blocks together it is a reminder of how patchwork allows the creation of infinite combinations of fabrics for different results. Here is the block shown with its twin Edge Block 89. This one shows more evidence of fussy cutting on that Michael Miller Rail Stripe fabric. These edge blocks are usually quite quick to complete - (this one has just 13 pieces), so they often get overlooked when I blog. One day at a time.Over recent weeks I have managed to complete quite a few Nearly Insane blocks, and edge blocks, so over the next few days I hope to give them each their own '15 Minutes of Fame', whilst I catch up with my blogging.This block was mostly prepped, but again, I had been missing some fabrics, so I dug out the missing fabrics and VOILA - the second block got completed as well. But I was having so much fun (did I just say that?) that I decided to forge ahead. My original plan yesterday was to make the one block and then turn on the sewing machine. My goal this month is to get the applique pieces on four blocks, and now one of four is complete! I had to dig out the lightbox and flip the pattern over, and then it was a breeze. However, when I started to put this block together, I realized that I could not do it without the placement plan. When I traced the designs, I did NOT reverse them, so the applique pattern was useless for placement. I had prepped part of this block when we were on our mini-retreat, but I was missing some fabric, so I had to wait until I had access to the stash. But I don't care - here is what I accomplished. I almost feel like I shouldn't share with you what happened. Lots of fun and laughter, and I was entertained while working on the applique for my current UFO.

We had a super time during our Monday sewing session.

I didn't know what to do! It was bizarre to be as free as that!ĭon't worry - I made good use of my time. OH! While I still have deadlines, none of them are super urgent, and I let everything slide yesterday.
