I decided it was time to count and decide about my traffic jam quilt blocks. I made these this year as part of the rainbow scrap challenge. I believe this was a Pat Sloan qal. I used 2 1/2 inch squares from my scrap bin and 4 1/2 inch square for the corners from the color of the month. The blocks are 12 inch finished. My goal for the year was 12 for a 3 x 4 layout. Now, I think that is too small. The plan is to work on these again next year with a better plan for finishing. It is a sure bet I have enough 2 1/2 inch squares in the scrap bin for next year. Maybe a 2 1/2 inch squares sashing?

Very fun scrappy blocks. Looking forward to seeing more of these next year.
ReplyDeleteI agree that 36" x 48" would make a small quilt, but it depends on what you envision for it. Maybe simply making some more blocks? Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I just love those Traffic Jam blocks! Such a great block and all squares. I need to put those on my list!
ReplyDeleteDid you try an on-point layout? You could alternate with 12" larger squares, or make a 13th block (three rows of three and two rows of two).
