Triple Treat in Progress

 

While searching through my plastic shoeboxes of scraps for more neutrals for RSC potato chip blocks, I found the box that had triple treat blocks in it. These were Bonnie Hunter’s Leader and Ender project from 2022.  The post-it note said, “40 - need 42 for 6x7 layout.” So I added it to the queue by my machine. 

Wednesday after we returned from our walk at the Rec Center, I decided to put them on the design wall. 




As I put the block up I ended up with 46. What the heck? Long story short I didn’t like it! Seemed too scrappy! Is that a thing?  I took this photo, and when I looked at it on my iPad, suddenly it didn’t look so bad. I shared it my Stitching Friends. They liked it. Since I had 4 too many, I might as well make 10 more, right? For a 7x8, right? I’m not crazy, right? 

So I’m linking up with Alycia at Finished or Not Friday. 

And I’ll end this post with one small finish just in time.


Stay Busy and Stay Happy and  Healthy and Positive!

  4. Beautiful finish there...I love alphabet stitching. I think your blocks together look great. Scrappiness has its own beauty, imo. Happy Stitching!

  7. I liked it from the second I saw it! I like the way you think - a 7'x8' quilt will be stunning. Enjoy your weekend Judy!

  8. You cracked me up. What is the solution when you have too many blocks? Make more. Now that is quilter's logic for you. One of the great things about photos is they force you to look away from the minutia and see the overall design. True it is very scrappy, but what intrigues me is the palette, that is less scrappy and unexpected. Looking forward to how you configure the blocks after making 10 more.
