Coming Along on Sew Along

Sew, as you know, I jumped onto a sew along over at

Conquering Mount Scrapmore, Brenda Logan's site.

I'm making pretty good progress.

This is the little project that got me started

on the spring sew along.

I was making 4 1/2" beige/crumb strips

for this scrap quilt project with crumb squares.


It required these two units. 


I had a mass of beige strings left so when I 

came across the sew along  

working with beige strings,

I jumped right on. 

Here's what I have so far!

Step 1

I have a 3 1/2" ruler so that made 

the first step easy.

Step 2


The second part moved along quickly, 

making little diagonal string blocks. 

I even had some larger brown blocks that quickly cut 

down into the correct size. 

Step 3

This step just required plain squares so it 

was easy. 

Step 4

A classic peaky and spike block 

was next. I made it with the 

tri tool & rex tool by EZ quilting. 



Step 5

Then another peaky and spike in a different 

color combination for step 5. 

Step 6

Step 6 is more challenging.  It is a 

stretched diamond with beige corner triangles. 

Not one ruler I have would match the corner

angle so I made a cardboard template to assist. 

The corners are not on but the center diamonds are complete.


Step 7 

TBD

Step 8

TBD

Step 9

TBD

Step 10

TBD

Step ?

I'm not sure how many steps this sew along will have,

but I'm not really figuring out what it's going to look like!

I thought I had it figured but then some four patches

and pinwheels came into the mix on step 10! 

I guess we'll just have to

stay tuned and see what happens.

Still working on the TBD (to be done) blocks

and I want to be finished with the sew along by month end

if the steps stop coming! 

Scraps only this month, no fabric purchased!

Stay Safe and Sew on!

  2. It's been years since I heard/read anyone referring to Peaky and Spike. One of my prize possessions is a signed copy of one of Doreen Speckman's books. She always included a personified version of P & S as part of her signature. How will all those various units come together? Guess I will just have to check your blog to find out.

    1. It took me a while to realize the peaky and spike resemblance! I am very curious about the big finish coming!

    1. I caught sight of the block and was pleasantly surprised! My guess was a little bit correct. It will be exciting to put one together. I am one step behind!

  10. Your blocks are looking good. I am up to step 10. Only a week behind but the push of seeing the first block layout will spur me on. Yes we need clue 10 to do this. It’s great sewing along.
