Leader-Ender Report
I'm getting into trouble with too many leader-enders, yet again. Time for one of them to hit WIP status so I can clear the decks of all these little trays of pieces.
This And That has enough units for 30 blocks and 5 completed blocks; I need 56 blocks, another 104 units. I should be able to do that over a couple of days, if I have plenty of pieces prepared. I know I have enough 2.5" squares for that. I'll just have to find more HSTs in that size.
Then there's the Triple Treat blocks that I'm working on in the shed. I thought I just had a few kitted; turns out there are 55 blocks and another 30 kitted, and some more pieces in a box. I might get busy and get all the kits sewn into blocks, and then decide how many more I need. It's a lovely block to piece, but I haven't decided how I want to put them together. If I do it like Bonnie's then all the seams nest nicely.
If I make diagonal lines of colour I'll have to mash a lot of seams together. I'm pondering that. (And also the fact that I'd like to do a multi-coloured one as well..)
Then there are the Terry Rowland scrap blocks.
I will keep them as a side project, whenever I get those odd fabrics that would lend themselves to these.
69 finished, more kitted. I'm a long way off the 300+ blocks I need, but I'm enjoying just making a few at a time.
I also have these little cross blocks that are using up my repro 2" strips.
(Blogger's being difficult and rotating random pictures. Thanks so much.) I've got a pile kitted up, but I'm tending to reach for easier leader-enders than these. 41finished,and 20 kitted.
I think I also started a Four Patch Fun in blues, with 6" blocks. They are way down the list, so they can stay in the box for now.
And my latest start:
They already number 61 pieces joined in twos. I'm not even bothering to iron them, I just whizz them through the machine and toss them into a tray. I think every Sunday I will iron them and make as many blocks as I can. It's too tedious to do it as I go along.
Before Christmas Seonaid said, A Christmas Log Cabin would be Cute! Then I found a scrap bag full of metallic Christmas prints, some quite beautiful. So I chopped them all into 2" strips and I'm building blocks a few at a time.
She has a King size bed, so the blocks can be large without overwhelming the space. I just haven't decided how big to go. She only wants a 90" square quilt, and won't need it for another 10 months or so; this one can be added to 10 or so at a time. I'll quilt it with a cotton batt, there's no need for warmth in our summers.
What else? I'm bound to find something more in my organising efforts. Just need to get a couple done and dusted.
