Such a lot of mismatched scraps and chunks in my novelty bin. I saw this block on Sylvia's blog: Treadlestitches. She had some great fabrics, made 9 blocks, added a wide border and voila!, a kid's quilt!.
I could do that! I started to lay out some coordinating fabrics and decided I could make a bunch and take them to my October retreat. All laid out on the portable design board. It worked and I came home with 14 blocks. Now my dilemma is... do I cut back to 3X3 layout like Sylvia's or make 2 more for a 4X4 quilt top. It's busy and colorful and fun!
Maybe I'll start with making 2 more, rearrange some of these and then, keep working on my Novelty Bin and make 9 more after that!
Decisions, decisions! I'll let you know what I decide.
I'm linking up with Oh Scrap at Quilting is more fun than Housework.
