Wednesday WIP






I have to admit there hasn't been a lot of sewing coming out of my sewing room lately.  However I have had a couple of days where I have not been rostered to work, and because it is wet and windy outside, today seemed like the perfect time to clean up my sewing room and use up a few scraps from my never decreasing scrap baskets. The result - some more blocks for my scrappy sampler quilt, and a sewing room that looks just as messy as when I started. The little triangle sugar loaf blocks are probably my favourite from today's effort. and the pattern is available here.  Now I am wondering just how many blocks I need, how big I want this quilt to end up and whether I start making lots of low volume filler blocks and strips  and start trying to piece it altogether.

    It all looks fantastic and I love the triangles in the third picture down - not sure if those are the sugar loaf ones or not - they are so pretty! Hope that you can work it all out so that you are happy. xx

    I find that my summer sewing time is quite random, and as with you, sometimes it's about cleaning and oraganizing and getting ready to sew. I suppose that you can't really work on scrappy blocks without making a big mess... it's just the nature of it. Wet and windy here too, but I guess it is winter with you and not "summer" like it is here?

    I really love the randomness of this quilt, and am excited to see the direction you take this!
