Hello to all. I'm RobinSue - recently retired from teaching, living in Southern California with my husband, daughter (temporarily back home) and our dog. Half a year gone & it feels so much longer. I don't know about you, but I've doing a lot of sewing and quilting, hence, tons of scraps! One day I couldn't take it anymore and decided it was time to tame these scraps. So many, where did they come from?
I designed a block to tame these scraps and use up the bits that have been lingering for years. The block is quick to make, and I know yours will be beautiful.
No special colors, this is scrappy. Have fun!

| Correction: 1.5 x 2.5 is either print or solid. Then again, it's scrappy! (Note to self: Don't write instructions while watching TV, seriously). Correction: It's easiest to follow the photos - I am not picky about low volume vs. solid vs print for the 1.5 x 2.5. Feel free to mix. In the solid rows, the 2.5 square can be either solid or low volume. Both drawings are the same block drawn in reverse layout. |
 |
| First sew 1.5 x 2.5 to 2.5 x 4.5 Then join to 5.5 to make columns. |
 |
| Sew the 2.5 squares into a column. |
 |
| Nest the seams. |
 |
| Finished Block! |
 |
| Pressed to the center. |
 |
| Same block in reverse order I'm a visual learner so I drew this out. I hope this inspires you to use those bits and pieces. RobinSue |
