A good friend and I had a small exchange, 3 1/2 inch squares to be exact. I made some half square triangles from them and then decided to make quarter square triangles. Moved them from place to place in my sewing room and them finally after some months decided to do something with them.  These are finished 4 inch blocks and the Civil War soldier fabric is also from good friend. That wasn't enough yet so I made bigger blocks, each quarter square is four inch finished. I will have two rows of these larger blocks. The only thing about all this scrappiness, is do I have enough scraps?



NO, I didn't so I went shopping at Wonderful friends house and gathered a few more fabrics! I came home with a huge bag but more on that at another post. This is not what I had intended on working on this week. I was supposed to pull out my "Some Kind of Wonderful" and work on some more blocks. This is one of the early applique pieces I wanted to do needle-turn on and to be totally honest, I have not practiced much.


I have four blocks appliqued and now need to do the embroidery. Don't forget I have a wonderful dinosaur quilt waiting in the basket also. Happy Quilting. Rita
