As I am cleaning around my sewing machine, I have found scraps and more scraps from projects and messes. I cut as I go. I have an odd assortment of fabrics this way. I cut 2 1/2, 2, 1 1/2 in strips and squares. I cut bricks this time in to 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 and 2 x 3 1/2.
Now, I can change my mindset to think about the new Quiltville leader ender challenge called triple treat. and use more of my 1 1/2 inch scraps. I have been working with them for several projects, and I don't have a large supply left. Maybe, I need to try making it with 2 inch squares. I have those for sure.
I have been doing these challenges from the beginning, 2012. The first one was bow ties. I have them all cut and 207 made. I need to sew a few more. I have it in the ufo closet since 2017. Maybe, instead of starting the new one, I should pull this first one out of the dark hole. and work to finish it. hmmm

I'm using 2" for my Triple Treat but I may start a different project that also uses 4 patches but will use more than Bonnie's quilts. For now, I'm just sewing twosies.
ReplyDeleteYou'll feel good about pulling the old one out and finishing it.
ReplyDeleteI think using up your 2" squares instead will be an easy switch. What a lovely leader/ender project! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteOld or new? What will you do, Maggie?!?!
