A WIP

Hello everyone, I've been playing with my scraps this week. And came up with a pile of these.



Nice, colorful 3.5" squares. I'm going to put borders on them, and then set them into a quilt top.

I started out going thru my scraps, pulling all my strips. Some of the strips I had 2 or 3 of. Some I just had 1 strip. Some are long, some are short. I sorted them into piles by their width. From 1 1/4" to 2 1/4".


I paired up my 1 1/4" strips with my 2" strips. Trimming some of the larger ones to those sizes. Put  a 1 1/4" strip on either side of a 2" strip. Some of the strips sets use the same exact fabrics.


And some use the same colorway, but different fabrics.


Then I cut out either one or two 2" strips from the sets, and either two or four 1 1/4" strips from each strip set. How many just depended on how long my strip sets were.


And put them together like so.

 
I LOVE these colors!!!
And now I have a pile of these.


Aren't they pretty!! :)

When I get the borders on, I'll be back...

Have a great day!

Linking up with the Gals on QuiltStory, thank you H&M!
