We're in the final countdown to 2025
and it is a great time to finish things up.
There was a lovely pile of left over blocks,
waiting in the wings for a solution.
They are coming together into totally
new creations.
The first is a whole sheaf of RSC
/Stashbuster blocks and squares left
over from the year of Irish Chains.
There was even one half of an intended
queen size green quilt in the stack.
erased and came up with a plan.
First, I finished up the center,
then debated colors for an inner border.
Settling on black was the easy way out,
but as the end result shows, a wise choice.
Then I sorted out the sides and sewed a few.
There was a bit of easing and squeezing going
on as the inner border threw all the figures out
of wack but it all worth it in the end.
and those will find a place on the back.
Next up: left over log cabin blocks!
Good luck with all your year end finishes!
Stay safe and sew on !

Nice job with the orphans ;) Thank you for joining in my weekly Sew & Tell party. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am almost finished with the log cabin woodpile. Happy New Year!
DeleteThis looks great. Good use of 2.5" squares? Whatever size the whole concept works well. I hope it also put a big dent in your scraps! (Although they self-generate when you aren't looking -- right?)
ReplyDeleteYes, there always does seem to be more scraps! My squares for the Greenway Surrounded? were 2 1/2" cut. I did find one more suitable block when going thru
Deleteone of the blue strip project boxes , but that is for another post . Happy New Year!
I love what you did with those extra blocks, Deb. Irish Chain is one of our projects this year! Looking forward to seeing the Log Cabin finish too! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
