Squared Away

This week I had fun with my light blue fabric and made these three blocks.
 

For 2018 I’m participating in Squared Away a sampler project for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge and this is the January block.  Mari – The Academic Quilter – has blogged about a Red Cross, this Clara Stone block that dates to 1906, you can see her post and instructions here.

Angela (Soscrappy) and Mari (The Academic Quilter) have designed a sampler quilt which we will be piecing through for the first 10 months of this year, hopefully I will quilt and bind it before the end of the year.  Just one more way for me to sew through my stash.

After sewing my blocks I added the remaining cut fabric to my stash of strips, ready and waiting for a future quilt idea.



Consider joining in the weekly fun, get inspired or just enjoy the many lovely projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

    1. I'm making the 10 inch block, I like the size and the idea of working with 2 1/2 inch strips.
