Part 6 of Mystery Chaos - cutting… Part 7 - the block layout

 This week was an easy one. Cut, cut and cut.

Out came my green tub. 

Easier to tip them out on the floor.

I sorted out pieces that I could cut 4.5” squares & 4.5” * 8.5” rectangles.



All parts laid out ready for the block layout.


Part 7. The block layout.


Sewing the block together. Next week there will be a video showing different settings of putting the blocks together. There are 16 blocks measuring 20”. This will make a queen size quilt.


With the smaller pieces I used my go cutter to cut 2.5” * 4.5” to use in the border and the leftovers to be used as a start for my potato chip blocks.


The left over strips and crumbs have been packed away. Brenda has a string quilt sew along coming up in April so hopefully some of the greens will be used.

It must be intriguing to see how all the components turn into a quilt.

Wow--those are big blocks!
That looks like such a big job to find the scraps the right size and then press and cut them all. I'm tired thinking about it, but your blocks are really moving along!
