Oh My Gosh

 I managed to get 3 more blocks done for my Oh My Gosh... I'm so in love with these!

On top of my washer has the best light to get the colors to be true in my pictures...  LOL!!!!

Yes, most of my scraps are purple and green... why do you ask?

Oh My Gosh

 Back in January I posted about starting to make 4-patches for an Oh My Gosh quilt here....

I've been busy making 4-patches as leader/enders... I have about 80 made, so I decided to make a Churn Dash block to see if my calculations on redrafting the size is going to work. Off the top of my head I think the original size block finishes at 4.5". I'm making mine 9" finished.

Hahahahaha!!! I think I like it! So I made a few more!

 

 

I believe most quilters work in the same color families over and over. Which means your scraps should all work together. At least this is true for me...

How long will this quilt take me to make... mmmmm, I don't know! LOL!!!

Oh My Gosh

 I've completely lost my mind... LOL!!! These will finish at 2"! New leader/ender project. I want to do an Oh My Gosh quilt, but I'm making my blocks bigger. The pattern calls for these 4-patches to finish at 1"!!! I'm not THAT crazy!!!

 

The Stash Buster Challenge 2020

I decided to do The Stash Buster Challenge 2020... Especially since I have stacks and stacks of 4-patches already made in the correct size. (I make 4-patches as my Leader/Enders. You can see my previous post about them here.)

For the challenge I'm making mine really, really scrappy!!!

My blocks do not really resemble the challenge block with it being scrappy and I'm ok with that. I had several made before I noticed my dark chain is not quite in the right position... again, I'm ok with that. The challenge block is where I started even though mine will be completely different.

I know what some may be thinking... "Do you really need another project?" No! No, I don't! LOL!!!

I'm only making one or two blocks every couple days or so. I think it takes me 10 minutes to finish a block since all the 4-patches are already made. I'm also using this block as a leader/ender...

 

I have enough blocks made that you can start to see my plan coming together. I want long diagonal rows of green, blue and purple... My chain is really scrappy with a little bit of every color. 

I want it big enough to fit my quest bed... 

Are you doing The Stash Buster Challenge?

Leaders & Enders

Do you piece with Leaders & Enders? If you're not sure what that is check out Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville  Quilts & Snips. She has two books available on the subject of using pre-cut block pieces to start and end your chain piecing. I have both!!!

For about the last year I've been making 4-patches using 2" for my leader/ender project. I'm mostly using my purple scraps... LOL!!!

A while back I got these cute little bins to keep my 2" squares organized in. One for dark squares... one for light squares...

Anyway,  I have close to 200 4-patches made, so I decided to start making them into blocks!

These are from Bonnie's Adventures with Leaders & Enders book... the quilt is Hopscotch, Butterscotch.

I'm trying to use fabrics I already have... LOL! Yesterday I searched my closet for something that will work for the sashing. Bonnie used a pumkin solid fabric. This doesn't mean I have to use the same thing, but... I really like orange colors with purple. 

I have no idea what I bought this one for.

This one is a little pinker shade of peach. It's an old, old Jinny Beyer print...

Trying to decide which one I like best. I leaning towards the Jinny Beyer.

This dark eggplant will be the corner stones and binding.

Now to find time to make more blocks!
