I mentioned yesterday that I’d made my first economy block at the weekend. Â Yesterday I wasn’t in the best of moods but in between trying to drink cups of tea and other stuff I managed to make this little lot:
I am delighted to tell you that all these fabrics aside from donated pieces are from my scrap boxes. Going through the boxes I realised that they truly are scraps boxes with not many pieces being 4″ square which is the largest piece needed for these blocks but I stuck to my plan and didn’t use anything from stash.
I’m going to turn the blocks into a table runner 3 x 7 so need to make another 2 blocks. My plan is for a reversible runner with 3 lone stars (if my maths is correct) on the other side, then it will serve well as a sample for a workshop that is being planned.
I’ll be linking up with Sarah at the end of the month:
They’re looking fab! It’s great digging through scraps, isn’t it? Get to show case those little pretty prints once again 🙂
Great squares!
You made all those in one day? I’m mighty impressed. They’re fab.
These are yummy!!! I want to make some too but must bust a WiP first!
Funny!!!! I see a square that I send for the FSQ Rainbow Charm Swap on Flickr :-)(the blue car fabric on the last row) I haven’t done anything with my received squares yet, but indeed they are fab for ecomony blocks!!!
These blocks are fabulous!
Well done you! They look fabulous!
I finished my #economini today – all from scraps too – it’s a nice feeling eh!?
Super efficient missus! I think my scrap bags are probably like yours, not too many big bits!
Your blocks all look great! Mine are all from my scraps, too, except for the centers which are from I-spy swaps.
these are so great! i especially love the one of the little VW van!!!!! <3
visiting from “Put your scraps to work”. The fussy cutting middle of the blocks are awesome
Wow, love these blocks Mary, you have great scraps!!
