Blocks + Blocks = quilt

I was able to cut 600 2 1/2 inch neutral squares for Midnight Flight. I love my accuquilt die cutter. I have a squares die but since there were so many I just cut strips and then recut them on the 2 1/2 inch strip die. I used 4 different neutrals. Next step is to make sew and flip corners on either end of my purple and blue rectangles. That is just the kind of sewing I like to do at quilting group.

And  I have one of my baby quilts on the frame ready to quilt. I feel sneaky and naughty when I put one of my own quilts on the frame. But, it's also a big surprise to see it again- Out of sight out of mind. I'm trying to beat the donation quilt deadline at guild this month.

 


While I was reading some of my favorite blogs, I found this great quilt. And with her permission. I would like to share. I am always looking for a string/crumb project. And this one will be just what I like. I haven't tried keeping colors together and I think I have a nice enough ( 2 bags worth) variety now that I can make it work.

It is a classic scrappy with a modern look. Bernie of Needle and Foot created this quilt called Scrappy HST
She has several posts about her process.
Here she shows how she considered a different layout, But I really like it as blocks and on point.
I hope you visit her as well and look around - great scrappy stuff.
