I really did stitch things in January for Red.... it just took me a minute to figure out how I wanted to approach This Years Scrap challenge.
I think... I want to make Stepper Quilts.
Way back in 2019 Liz offered a little Quilt a long thru our stashbusters group. The block she used was so similar to a pattern I had designed called Zig Zag Rails for our high school kids to sew - but!!!
Her's was bigger pieces. Oh ya!! Bigger pieces, Faster stitching, Stash busted faster!! Great combo right?
And She called it Steppers. I like it!
Remember my Friends Scrap bags? I gathered Reds from it - and this is Number one.....
But I hadn't used all the strips I cut.... and the snow started coming down again and so! I tried to look busy so I didn't have to do chores.... and ta-da!! Steppers Number 2!
You sure did stay busy and who doesn't love an easy pattern or three for scraps. Way to sew!
ReplyDeleteWow - you've gotten so much accomplished. I love that Stepper idea. It would be a great scrap buster.
ReplyDeleteI like your Stepper quilts. Dare I ask you to share the size of the rectangles? And wow! you really made great use of all those reds. Were they all from the donated bag or did you get to use some of your own? We had snow on the ground for about 4 weeks or so. Unheard of here. On the other hand I realized we hardly get sun on our backyard at all in the winter which helped keep the snow in place. Hopefully that's it for this winter. Back to sewing!
ReplyDeleteLove the steppers block! Great for using up scraps! I also have seem to have projects that turn into multiples!
ReplyDeleteWay to go!!
ReplyDeleteI think the scraps multiply when we aren't looking. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of RSCing.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly were on a red sewing of scraps, binge. The steppers pattern is a fabulous one, and love all those fabrics in the strings blocks. And you say, there are still reds left??!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteYou're making the rest of us look like turtles you realize that don't you. AND, there's no snow on the ground here at all to slow us down.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on multiple finishes.
