This week there was a lot of activity in my sewing room. I have been busy sewing blocks into quilt tops, sewing up scraps into placemats and cutting fabrics for a few of my scrappy projects.
This included a bunch of pieces for my switchplate quilt.
I cut up a bunch of 3.5" x 1.5" strips to make these blocks that are green with yellow centers. I have a few more various colors all sitting next to my sewing machine so I can chain piece them when I have the time.
I think these are all the blocks I have finished to date. I am not even sure I have enough for a small quilt at this point! I am pretty sure I will be working on this one into 2023. One of these days I will need to sit down and do a bit of math to see exactly how many blocks I need.
I think this quilt will be loads of fun once I finish it!

So many interesting switch plate blocks!!!
When I first saw you making the Switch Plates you inspired me to start making them. I like them because I can make them from either 1.5 inch width scraps (and cut four 3.5 inch pieces) or use 3.5 inch width scraps (and cut four 1.5 inch pieces). Oh, I just love that staggered layout.
Those are fun in the bright greens! Really, they are fun in every color, and will make a great design no matter how you lay them out. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
What a lovely and fun project Cynthia. I have some old yellow fabrics from ancient times. Maybe I should start cutting them up for centers? The smaller pieces you cut them to, the more you can use "ugly" fabrics. Thanks for the idea.
Love how those Rainbow Switch Plates look on your wall...so neat looking nice work hugs, julierose
I love these switch plate blocks! And now you’ve got me thinking….
Switchplate is the perfect name for those blocks. Seeing them on your design wall in rainbow order is such a happy photo!
Wow, what a wonderfully colorful layout for your switch plate blocks!
These are cute - the name of them is perfect.
Cynthia - do you ever run out of ideas?!? Hahaha. Sure doesn't seem like it!
My allergies have been acting up so those looked like tissue boxes at first. Yes they are great switchplate blocks too. Multipurpose!
What a terrific group of blocks! I like the layout already!
I missed the party last Sunday. Shame on me. Looks like you guys are having a blast. I agree with you - these blocks are going to be loads of fun!!!
