It’s time to turn the scraps INTO something….

If you have been reading since January 1st, you know that I am spending 10-minutes each morning, happily sewing blue scraps together. At last count, I have about thirty 6-inch squares put together.

Now the question is “what am I going to do with them”?

My original thought was to do a color wash similar to the Terry Rowland quilts that are so popular right now…..

….and I apologize that I don’t know who made this beauty. If it is yours, please let me know so I can give credit!!

I think that my blocks would look great in this type of arrangement, but it is going to take a lot of thinking and, right now, I need my brain power in the office and not the studio. 

I first thought about alternating the blocks between blue and some other colors (pink in this design)…..

That could be fun.

What if I add some sashing……

….or put it on point……

Then, I started things about non-symmetrical designs….

Finally, I started thinking of the 6-inch square as if it were ONE blue square (rather than a mixture of smaller ones). Now what type of quilt could I make??

This was my first thought…..

….and that reminded me of a “Chandelier Quilt”. so what about something like this…..

….or this……

OKAY…..Chandelier quilt it is!!

I did change the proportions a bit and am happy with this idea…..

So when I return to my 10-minute patchwork, I will be working on other colors of scraps, making pieces that are 2×6 and 2×8. These will surround the blue blocks

At least…that is the plan!!

Stay with me and let’s see if it stays as the plan!!
