Here is my Carolina Chain so far! I have made 31 blocks. I need a total of 72 blocks so I'm not even halfway there! However, I enjoy making these blocks and using up my stash, although you can't tell from the looks of my scrap bag! I have another block all cut and ready to sew. This is definitely a long term project!
These are the last 3 blocks I made. When I cut for Long Time Gone, I cut extra for this quilt. I hope this speeds up the process! There wasn't much sewing going on here for the last few days. I worked the last 5 days. I'm hoping to catch up now that I'm off until the weekend. It's finally sunny outside and feels like spring. Such a great day to be off!
Great scrap buster - you might have to make two or three, though, to make a dent in your scrap bins, lol! It will be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb! I'm always surprised how scraps just never seem to go away!!
DeleteLoving this pattern--so pretty in your chosen fabrics...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose! Those scraps look good when you sew them all together!
DeleteGreat looking quilt. Love scrappy. I have not been in my room lately much. Soon....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn! It felt so good to sew a little this afternoon. I hope I can get more done tomorrow!
DeleteGood Morning Rosemary! Ooh, that project looks so pretty on the design wall. I just love the scrappy look of it – even if it doesn’t seem to be making a dent in your stash. I can relate, oh can I relate. {{Hugs}} and Happy Mother’s Day to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Roseanne! This is such a fun pattern. I do love using my scraps although they never seem to go away! Have a Happy Mother's Day!
DeleteWhat pretty blocks. I love different scraps blocks to use up stash or the stuff I have from guild for charity
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love making this block even though it's not a fast block to make. I do like the effect when the blocks are all together. We'll see if I actually make a dent into my stash!!
DeleteYour Carolina Chain is a beauty - I've been out of circulation for three weeks so I may have missed an earlier post on this, I'd love to make one myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maureen! I love this pattern. It's from Bonnie Hunter's book, Addicted to Scraps. It's a nice way to use up those scraps. Although, I never seem to use up as many as I'd like!
