Here are my blocks, all laid out the way I think they look the best.
Four of my blocks aren't red, I patterned them after ones I saw in Quebec and Prince Edward Island.
I wanted to wait until I finished all the blocks before I sashed them.
I rummaged through my scrap basket and found these strips of fabric for the sashing.
One of the reasons I love scraps is because they bring back memories of previous quilts and projects I've sewn.
I can see a baby's cradle I made for my grand daughter for Christmas, a baby quilt I made for my grandson 7 years ago, an apron I made for my friend at Christmas, fabric for some baby pants I made for another grand daughter, a doll dress I made, a travel pillow, and so on and so on.
Does it make you nostalgic when you use your scraps?
On Friday, I'll show you my finished quilt top :)
That looks so good! The yellow barn is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI always think I have to follow a pattern or recipe to a "T", so I kind of wish that I had broken the rules and made my barns different colors because I love yours! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've seen Lori's barns all put together. They look even more impressive all lined up. Nice job, Cynthia
