Scrappy Trip Blocks

I've totally become addicted to making these blocks...

I start out by choosing 6 strips. The first one a black print then a gradation from dark to light.

 

Sew them together and cut them apart... LOL! At this point sometimes I start to wonder about my choices. 

Then I sew them back together again... to finish the block!

One Block at a Time

I'm really enjoying making my Scrappy Trip blocks... LOL

When you look at one block by it's self one my wonder how I came up with that fabric combination. These are not fabrics I would normally put together. I'm using a black print going through the center as my only constant. From there I'm arranging my strips from dark to light. One block might not be much to look at by itself....  but when you add a friend...

 

Then add more friends...

 

Move the friends around...

 

I need to go make more friends! LOL

 

 

Corona...

I know many have been dealing with the emotional roller-coaster the coronavirus stay at home orders. It's been difficult, and I know I'm not alone.

All the major quilt shows I was scheduled to go to were canceled. A few teaching trips were canceled. I know I'm not alone...

I've lost my quilting mojo... I just haven't been able to bring my self to stand at my machine and be creative. After making enough mask to protect myself and family I said enough...

I've been loosing myself in mindless sewing. I have to ask myself... With so many UFO's... why did I start a new project?

 

Scrappy Trips form Bonnie Hunter's free patterns... this has been on my to do list for several years. I really hope to finish this and not let it become another UFO!

My leader ender project has been growing also... 

 

I need a lot more blocks!!!  LOL My only problem is I'm running out of 2" neutral strip...
