More scraps blocks complete; I don’t know how many I have now, but still nowhere near enough. There are another 20 or so prepared for this week’s evenings. It’s very satisfying to complete each part of this jigsaw.
I’m calling this one the Arlee block – made with some of her special fabrics:
And a few of the others:
All 8″ square. I keep forgetting that I still have to piece them all together at the end of all this.

I am so excited by these!!! I want to do some!! You have inspired me…….
Do! Do! I’d love to see what you create
oh my goodness, thank you Karen—you have reminded me of my trad grandmother’s hex piece i wanted to make
I love the groupings by color. Beautiful together and also allowing each little scrap to shine. I can’t wait to see how you put them all together.
Actually I’m a bit worried about that – I have no idea how to put these together yet – randomly, by colour, by value… no idea. I also have no idea about how I’m going to quilt it. One step at a time though!
The mystery quilt evolves… I am really enjoying the playfulness of this adventure!!
me too
What fun!
Delightful fun
Everyone should try it!
Life is a journey, not a destination! Love the colours and the inspiration for recycling the tiniest of scraps! Bonne chance a vous!
Merci beaucoup! Although I’m afraid I’m the kind of passenger who keeps saying ‘Are we nearly there yet?’
so tempting…but i’m into too much already. love seeing these.
Plenty of time for everything.
Always enjoy admiring your wonderful sense of color and design.It will be just terrific when it is all together.
Well, I hope so – but have some doubts and concerns, as usual :-/
I can see how one could acquire a great calmness from stitching all of these…enough variation to delight the mind and at the same time, enough repetition to put it to rest.
I’ve this MAD desire to send you some rich, deep ***purple*** scraps from my stash but I’m showing great, hard-fought restraint…
You’re so right, C – enough variety in the colour and pattern, enough repetition in the stitching. You describe it perfectly. I hadn’t consciously realised that.
I never refuse fabrics
Actually I did wildly underestimate the quantity I would need for this quilt top and found myself – incredibly – running a little low, until Serena came to my rescue with a mountain of delicious and perfect fabrics.
Love this beautiful work Karen. You are reminding me of my mother who used to paper piece on long car trips.
these are beautiful karen! i love them. i like that there’s little sisters to stuff i’ve made in there too.
you have pin envy….I have patchwork envy. Guess we’re quits!
You’re making great progress with these blocks!
Fabulous – there is so much to see, your eyes linger so much longer over these treasures!
