Six New Scrappy QOV Projects

This was the first 12.5" test block . . .

This was the second 12.5" test block . . .

Target goal is 35 scrappy 12.5" string blocks.

I haven't decided on the layout yet,

but when it is finished, this quilt top 

will go to Quilts of Valor.

This is another stash-based project 

that is waiting in the wings.

The scrappy brights-on-black squares will join

with the scrappy black-on-white squares 

to become 8.5" or 9" square HSTs.

Once they're all sewn together,

I will decide on a layout.

The dark/light squares are all cut out for this project.

You can see the pattern's photo from Sujata's book

(Cultural Fusion Quilts)

in the upper right hand corner.

(the blues in the lower left corner may become the backing)

I'll be using the Sunday Morning pattern 

from the book of the same name

to create this scrappy stash-based quilt.

Each square will feature the brights-on-black 

paisley strip along the left edge.

These light/dark strips will eventually

become my fourth freeform Rail Fence quilt.

(design from Sujata's book linked above)

And this scrappy string quilt is being stitched together

using the alternate version of Wind Farm

by Lynn Harris in her book Every Last Piece.

The stash of long strings has been cut into shorter lengths

and I've been stitching a block or two for this in between other projects.

My goal is to have all six of these tops sewn together

and sent off to Alycia before year's end so

other QOV volunteers can add the long arm quilting, 

binding, labeling, and presentation cases.

One stitch at a time . . .
