I have spent a very enjoyable Saturday afternoon making my blocks and have 12 all ready to go. Funny thing - I showed Jason a few together and his very words were " It's a bit busy love " haha - great fun this quilting business.

The best laid plans...
Now my SSCS is off on it's long journey ( 3 days before the deadline I'll have you know - lol ) I cast my eyes around my sewing area in search of something to do. Remember those half square triangles from last but one post ?
I have been working on those and decided to make 35 blocks for a 5 by 7 setting. I did not have enough little units for these so have spent quite a bit of time making more. Added some side strips and here are 2 blocks.
Was going great guns when I realised I had mis-calculated and only made 34 blocks. Decided to call it a day and make the last block the next morning before sewing them altogether. However next morning I was checking my blog list and came across this tutorial....What fun this looked - haha
Casting my mind around I remembered a pile of fabrics I had put together when I was unable to sew due to my back injury. These were all fabrics that I loved but would they actually go together ? I think my painkillers were at work when I put these together in a basket as there was quite a lot of clashing - lol ! Oh well - I would either love it or hate it and so off I went.

See you soon xx

Looks like you've been having fun! I love the little triangles, too cute, Cant wait to see the top when it's put together. As for the "little busy" blocks, it would make a bright and happy baby quilt, besides tops look different after they are quilted! (Or if you HATE it you could tea dye it and tone it down.) Anyway, I like it.
Beautiful blocks!
good to hear the SSCS is gone.........like the flying geese..........
Sounds like lots of fun!! Busy or not I like it!
Gorgeous!
There is just so much to do with little bits of fabric!
It is busy but isnt that the charm..looks great!
i love all these photos of scrappy blocks! You are having fun with your sewing and that is all that really matters :)
I love the business! Nothing wrong with plenty of colour and movement.
Busy? That's not busy, iy's gorgeous! What a great pattern, and the fabrics look lovely together.
Love Jason's comment, I get those as well... Loving all the baby stuff going on, but I do miss a good old sewing session and could do with one occassionally!!
Dont you just love the comments men come out with. I just had a look at the tutorial for the pinwheel quilt. I have a bundle of 1930's fabrics that I may use it looks good fun to do.
