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.
Needs more light metallics, or maybe batiks?

What else? I'm bound to find something more in my organising efforts. Just need to get a couple done and dusted.
