scrap play

Just a little fun with triangles. I had a pile on the sewing table and rather than put them in "the bucket", I just made a few beauty baskets. And yes, I dug some more out of the bucket and made a bigger mess. But, I was a happy girl.

I made a few yellow easy breezy blocks, lately, as leader/ enders. It takes 11 steps to complete one. It's a simple block, but, several steps.

I have a little more done on boho heart.

scrappy baskets

 I found these beauty baskets at suzies scraps here. I don't work on them very often. But, I like them, and, anytime I find triangular pieces that I think would work, I throw them in the box with the blocks. Sometimes, I like to take them out and sew a few. It uses odd triangles and 2 1/2 inch squares. More about them here.

I also found snowball blocks at Suzies-scraps.com. I have these in a box near the sewing machine to use up 2 inch squares.

I have 5 quilts I am focusing on right now and these 2 are not on the list, but a great diversion.

1. sea swept

2. fish school

3. scrappy mountain majesties

4. boho heart

5. and labels and prepping my quilts for the quilt show Friday

leader and enders

I just wanted to sew a little, so I grabbed the leader/enders near my machine, and made a few. I haven't felt well - it wasn't covid. It has been hard to want to sew.

I think I am on the mend, and these cute baskets are part of good medicine.

new basket

I found this little beauty at suzies scraps here. I really like her blog for inspiration. I used her ideas for a broken dishes block here. and her tile block here.

I was really excited to find another way to use the quirky "trash" triangles I have in a box. and it is so cute. It is also another great way to use older scraps that are not nearly as modern. Although, all fabric trends repeat over time.

I put them together like a 9 patch. Right now, I have a bunch of 2 1/2 inch squares cut in cream. When I use those I might make the plain 2 squares into a single piece. I like making these better than wonky stars.
