Scrappy Blocks of the Day-a new idea

I’m starting something new today.

I have so many bits and pieces of fabric that I have decided, instead of adding to my “out of control” fabric stash, every day when I finish a project I will use the scraps from that day to complete (at least) one 6 inch block.  When I have the extra time I’ll pull some fabric out of my old stash and make a few extra blocks. 

Putting together one block, especially a 6 inch block, doesn’t take that long and the completed blocks will be easy to store until I have enough to  make a scrappy quilt.  I’m actually looking forward to getting started and to see the quilts that will take form from the blocks I create each day. I have a feeling they will add up quickly.

If I do just one block a day then I will have enough 6 inch blocks by the end of the month for an average crib sized  quilt  (approx. 43 x 36 if you add a 2 inch sashing between the blocks. Larger if you add a boarder)  I bet there’s a new little one out there that could use a hand made quilt.

Of course I’ll post pictures of the blocks as I make them.  I started a new page just for them titled “Scrappy Blocks of the Day”.  Having them all in the same place will make them  easy to find.

The first block I will be making is the Shoo Fly block. To see the first two I made from yesterday’s scraps (leftover from me making the purse)  go to the new page  by clicking on the following link:
