I admit that my pile of scraps is not extensive and most are bigger than your usual crumbs; however, it does give me a bit more flexibility. Jo's blocks all have reds as a key color to tie all of the blocks together. I seem to have a lot of black and pink scraps so I will be sure to include a little of each in every block to help tie them together. DH has a few dark gray shirts lefteover from his now-defunct corporate life - they will make good sashings.
These flying geese were made from corners I cut off of August's Block Lotto blocks.
I also have many 1-1/2 inch wide pieces from my one-patch quilt's unfortunate sashing adventures! These should help tie the blocks in together too.
I am really looking forward to some super-scrappy crumb blocks. I promise to keep all of my crumbs from now on!
Beautiful blocks and fabrics. I love the gray in your blocks. This is so fun seeing everyone blocks as they work on them.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I really love your blog look, your wallpaper is really neat!
Very nice blocks! They are going to look great in your quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great. I had not thought about having one dominant color in all the blocks, what a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteLooking good. I love the different prints in each of the geese...something I'll have to try.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking gaggle of geese.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour choices, love the way each "wing" is unique.
ReplyDeleteI haven't an extensive stash too...your blocks are beautiful !
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks so far! Absolutely you should keep every scrap :)
ReplyDeleteA great start to crumb blocks. Save every piece you trim, too - it will fit into another block.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start
ReplyDeleteYou really have an interesting mix of fabrics. It will be fun to see how it all comes together.
