OK, remember this quilt?
I realised that I had lots of left overs. My default position when buying fabric and I don't have a pattern, is to buy too much yardage. But lovely Ann from Periwinkle Patchwork had done the calculations for me so I didnt over purchase. But I stuffed up the cutting. So lovely left overs, not excessive, but enough for a bonus project.
Hmmmm, I need a quick gift for a `0' birthday - one of those parties where gifts are not allowed, but you want to say "Happy Birthday - you are special".
Hmmm....I have still not made the Tic Tac Toe quilt by Blossom Heart that I have listed on my Wish List for this year.
The original pattern makes 12" blocks, but mine are 8", because that fitted with the pre cut scraps I had. Love, love, love this block!
I am not going to place the blocks on point, but this is going to a retired nurse who worked overseas for Red Cross, so it is very fitting!
Happy quilting Sue.
well done, very appropriate block
ReplyDeleteA very pretty block! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteThe perfect block for your friend. Glad you were able recalculate and use those leftover pieces.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good use of leftovers. Sounds like the perfect "non-gift". :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that block before. It looks like a great use of left-overs, and perfect for a Red Cross worker.
