Down the Scrap Rabbit Hole!

Have you ever gone “down a rabbit hole”? 

You know….you are working on one thing and then magically, you are headed into something completely different!!

That is what happened to me this week. 

I was enjoying my 10-minute scrapping sessions but felt like I had enough blues squares….

…..and maybe it was time to switch to a different color. 

The only problem was that I still had SO many blue scraps left, particularly in that “marine blue” color……

And then I had tons of 4-patches……

….and even more 2-patches…..

I REALLY wanted to use them up before I moved on.

WHAT……TO……DO??

Of course….. let’s make 9-patches, alternating the pre-pieced 4-patches and the blue squares!

After three 10-minute sessions, I had these pieced……

Since I had worked hard at my desk during the week, I decided to give myself two hours in my studio on Saturday morning.

Again, the question of “WHAT…..TO…..DO”?

Let’s keep making 4-patches, using up ALL of the pre-pieced couplets……

Then I started adding blue squares…..

….and before long I was ready to lay it out on the design wall….

….make two more blocks to finish the design, and….

VOILA…..it was ready to piece together…..

Isn’t this a fun center for a quilt?? 

I love the sparkles of color.

And, best of all, I finished with 2-minutes to spare out of my 2-hours….

Tomorrow I will add one border!!
