Florence, I love your block. Dawn, love the postage stamp quilt. I got into my scrap drawer and found pieces big enough to cut into the 3.5 inch strips for the half square triangles and then cut a bunch of 2 inch strips for the 4 patches. I had several 3.5 inch half square triangles sewn already and added them to the project box.

Great block Florence. Looks like you're off to a good start Sheila. I have another 16 inch block done and I like this one better. |

Bonita, Florence and Sheila. I do love the fabrics you are all using. If I get my mega quilt quilted soon, I might jump in on this. I just gave two totes of scraps to Goodwill but have plenty more for this project. |

I think I can manage this Bonnie Hunter. I'll probably be working with 1 1/2 inch squares. I have some L/E's done; just have to find my squares and start working on some other quilts. This will be great for when I do charity quilts. |

I have a quilt to finish quilting, then have to cut some fabrics into useable pieces, and I will get a start on this. Golly, I have so many pieces of fabric!!! |

I got my AccuQuilt GoBaby out today and am cutting 5 inch squares...also found several charm packs I am dividing into light/darks. Also began cutting some 2 1/2 inch squares from leftover JRs and other strips. I'm thinking doesn't matter pure white, cream, tan, as long as all lights??? |

The quilt I am working on now has A LOT of 'Y' seams, so it's a good one for doing up some leader/enders  . |
Keep a smile in your heart :) Dorian |

9 blocks will make a great quilt!
Dorian - yes, y seams = lots of leader ender time. I made up enough to at least lay out a block. As I have been working on projects, I have been cutting 2 inch strips and 3.5 strips from my leftovers. I need way more color variety for these blocks. I have been using the 1/2 square triangles for On Ringo Lake for my leader/ender. I am almost done with the browns. I throw some of these in occasionally as well. The box is growing!!
Remember, Even if you make too many 4 patches and/or half square triangles, you can always stash the extra for the next project! |

Haven't posted on here for a while, but I am working on these, too. I have a few HSTs and a few 4 patches put together. Lots of both to put together yet. About time for me to put a block together. Today might be that time. |

I have 3 16 inch blocks made and like Sharon have a lot of 4 patch and hst ready to go . Enough to make about 4 or 5 blocks. I really have no plans to make a top from these yet so will just keep on making them as I go.
Looking forward to seeing yours Florence. |

Bonita, I don't really don't have any plans yet, either, but want to have some Orphan Blocks, in case I get the notion to put a top together. For me it was just a matter of getting disciplined to begin and end with something to put in the box. I DO like the quilt BH is making, though. NEVER have been a scrappy quilt girl, but the more I see of them, the more I like them. |
