The deep, dark hole of YouTube videos a
Facebook links, has coerced me into jumping onto
a Canadian scrap quilter's Spring Fling sew along.
I had a pleasant few evenings stitching up
even more low volume scraps strings and bits,
into sashing to to join other unknown
components to complete a mystery.
Sew far I am only up to clue two, but it has used up
a considerable amount of scraps and bits.
Clue number two looks like a diagonal
string block so it should be easy to stitch up.
The design wall has been cleared and
currently holds the start of the
sashed crumb squares. They got off to a bit of a false start,
as the frame I used for the crumb squares was
a gray that turned out to be just too dark.
It has been replaced with a gray print
that seems to be doing the trick.
I'm excited to get more crumb blocks
into a top!
of the scrap squares.
I found even more crumb squares
when I was cleaning up last night!
My BB is coming up for some stitching and
a quilt show so I need to make room for two!
Have a great week stitching!
Stay safe and sew on.

The gray you settled on is perfect. It contrasts nicely with both neutral sashings and the colored blocks. What a great quilt reduce your scraps, at least temporarily. :)
ReplyDeleteIt does! My BB said maybe use a small crumb square as cornerstones so we will see if that works. I'm a charter member of the "Never follow a pattern or picture club!"
DeleteOh so many sew alongs and BOMs! So much creativity and inspiration is out there... and so little time ;) Looking good so far. Thanks for joining the Sew & Tell party.
ReplyDeleteWe do get a lot of ideas from the blog verse don't we!
DeleteA dark You Tube hole of projects or a bright spot in that bin where are those scraps have been used up?!? Great looking mystery project, looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is a little paper piecey but I work around it when I can!
DeleteWhat a fun project, I'd love to have you share at https://tryit-likeit.com/link-party-it/
ReplyDeleteI link up when I have some completed items. Thank you for the invite!
DeleteI loved seeing your design wall with the six crumbs and neutral background.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I think I need a bigger design wall! It will be 4 x 4 of the colored blocks.
DeleteThose neutral crumbs are so pretty! Love the pairing with the bright crumbs on your design wall. Have fun with the mystery! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

You are very welcome. I have three active projects right now, sew much fun! Have a great week!
DeleteThis looks like a really great project! I'm off to check it out, because one can never have too many ideas in the pipeline!
ReplyDeleteI know , the more inspiration the better!!
DeleteOoh, this QAL looks fun, and your crumb squares are lovely. Great light grey borders, and fabulous way to use scraps! Thank you for sharing the link and your work in progress, and linking up!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to join any QALs, but some have been calling to me. I like the gray fabric that you switched to. Enjoy your sewing!
ReplyDeleteDeb you have outdone yourself with the photos and link to another QAL. Thank you for sharing on ToDo Tuesday. Hope you’ve had fun with your BB this week. 😉 Carol
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, that sounds like a great project. The gray border does look better than the dark. I'm looking forward to seeing your finished quilt! Thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks! Have a great week.
