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

    Hi Rita, I tried to send you an email but couldn't find it in your profile and I tried to respond to your comment on my blog about the chubby churn dash quilt but you are showing as a "no reply blogger" so I couldn't respond there either. I actually used an embroidery needle but I will look and see what size it was and let you know. When your blog shows to others as a no reply blogger, then they can't respond to you and your comments. Here is a link that tells you how to fix it. If you need help - leave me another comment on my blog or you can go to my blog and email me. Hope this helps. xo jan
