Yellow Brick Road quilt blocks




Outside photo and inside photo with flash...
The bottom photo still has the pinned tags with the row numbers....
I always put tags on each row to keep everything straight when I am sewing rows...
A very good idea is to take a photo of your planned layout and refer to it when or if blocks get misplaced!
Also I take a lot of photos of different layout designs to help decide design layout.
Give me some ideas for borders....this is very bright and I will probably use it on a table.

This is a super fun design and very easy.  It is by Atkinson Designs.
I used 6 fat quarters for this small quilt.
AND I have a bundle of fabrics I will use to make a larger one sometime.

This is Strips & Squares Saturday #4....tell me what you are doing with strips and squares...

Strips & Squares Saturday #3 Linky Party


Last Sunday I got all the blocks together for a project and haven't done anything with them since...
I have been working on other projects...

I want to know what you are doing with your strips and squares




5 by 5 blue mini

 I finished this little 12½ square quilt yesterday...
I used varigated thread of blue and pink to quilt it....
I have a lot of fabrics that I am trying to use and not just sit...
AND these fabrics I purchased almost 20 years ago!
I have been cutting strips of my old fabrics with my GO.....
I have blogged before about these little squares and 4 patches.
 I have collections of Susan Winget panels that I purchased long ago!
 I really like her designs and decided I would use this piece as the back...

Since I finished these yesterday I will add to finish it up Friday and Link a Finish Friday.
Will also link to Linky Tuesday.
