sugar grove

 One of my rainbow scrap challenges is to cut all the hsts I will need for the Bonnie Hunter quilt called sugar grove. Each month I make 180 hsts in the color of the month. I have enough variety to make a few whole blocks as I go along. I purchased the pattern last year to use the leftover hsts I have been saving. It hasn't really worked that way, so far. I liked the idea in the quilt of using matching fabric diagonally. I didn't have enough that match. So, I have had to cut and sew most of them from scraps to make the sets I need. It hasn't been tedious doing a set amount every month. I am sure I would not be making it if I just tried to do it all at once.  I want 72 blocks. I have 12.


They are not perfect, even though I am trimming. But I think it will be fine in the whole quilt. It is such a fun way to use up scraps. And each block is a fun surprise when finished.

  1. You are wise to not try to make all the HST's at one go, that can become overwhelming! This is going to be a lovely quilt, happy stitching!

  2. This pattern of BH's is an awesome use of those HSTs. I'm not sure I have the patience for it, but sure love the overall look she achieved. Great job on your blocks so far.

  4. That's a lot of HSTs but breaking it down is better. It's a lot even at 180 per month! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
