Oh Scrap! : Scrappy Block Progress

I have been spending quite a bit of time lately in my sewing room.




I finished up nine more of my Well Suited blocks.  I have been working on this RSC quilt all year and have decided I just want to get it done.




I think I want a 7 x 9 layout so that means I need 22 more blocks.  I think I have 13 blocks cut and waiting to sew.  I might have to raid some stash pieces to find some solid colors (for the geese) that I haven't used yet.  So far all of these have been in my scrap bins.




When I make the geese for the Well Suited blocks, I turn the cut away triangles into these cute little pinwheel blocks.  All of the blue pinwheels, I made when I made this blue Well Suited quilt.




So far I have 16 blocks completed.  This will be another quilt I should be able to finish up hopefully this month.  My plan is to sash these blocks with a wider white strip than the strip in the block.  I think I will add some scrappy cornerstones too.

I also made some more basket blocks but they got mixed into a stack before I got a photo.  Hopefully I will just have a finished quilt soon!

What are you working on!

The flying geese quilt in Well-Suited is going to be so fun! And I love the look of your bonus pinwheels, too. Will they have a sashing in between each block? Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
