Do you have lots of little pieces of fabric...not big enough to do anything with....I started using them to make what I call a Shape Blocks...
Years ago I was participating in the 350 Blocks Projects over at Shelly's place..Prairie Moon....sorry to say I didn't get many done before I gave up....Shelly was also doing something she called...Tile Quilt...This popped into my head a few day ago...so I started browsing around until I found it. I've decided to do a Tile Quilt out of my tiny pieces of scraps...I can't show Shelly's , but here's mine...
I keep adding pieces until I get the block as full as I want it, then I'll trim it down to a size I like. I'm going to play around with different background fabrics and see what I can do with them.
Have you been having hot and humid weather? It's keeping me from working on a quilt I've got in the hoop...it needs tied...having it laying on me is really miserable...We have for the last 2 weeks...High 80's and the humidity has steadily been creeping up. Today it's 85..but feels like 87...the humidity is at 52% and the dew point is at 65...which all together makes it feel miserable. I am thankful our air conditioner is working...please excuse the dust!
I thought I would share some blogs for quilts...you never know you might find your next quilt idea.

And this makes me happy every time I glace up...they are sitting on top of my computer desk..I've collected these little toys that my grand kids had at one time or another over the years...I keep adding new ones when the new wears off. And DON'T look at the DUST...please!

Hi Sherrie, that tile block looks interesting. Thanks for the shout out too. Stay hydrated and enjoy your stitching.
ReplyDeletepretty got my quilt head going
ReplyDeleteBeing 5ft, all I sew is hems!
ReplyDeleteDust? What's dust!??? I wish I could do crafts. I have tried but they don't seem to be my thing. I keep at it sometimes, though. Just for fun.
ReplyDeleteThose tile quilt blocks are really cool!
ReplyDeleteDust loves our home,too. :-) That's pretty cool what you're doing with tiny scraps. I love the randomness about it.
ReplyDeleteI don’t see any dust; just a bunch of happy memories. 😉. Love that tile block. Going to have to go investigate Shelley’s blog for more info.
ReplyDeleteI like your tile block! Do you fuse the pieces down, or stitch them? I follow quite a few of those blogs, too - lots of great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI like your tile block too, do you fuse them in place and then stitch down? I just realised I asked the same as the person above!! No time to look at dust, too many other things to enjoy. Hope you cope with the humidity ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in FNwF... & your tile block looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'll go checkout some of those blogs too...xox
Looks like a fun block to put together...
ReplyDeleteBetter fun things to do than dusting..
