This week most of my time was spent longarm quilting and sorting fabrics to make kits for volunteers. I did find a bit of time to cut more 44.5" squares from my scraps.
This box is about 12" deep so there are a LOT of squares in their already. I have had a few people ask me exactly how many quilts I am planning on making. (It will be a lot!)
I did sew up a couple more sample blocks for this project. The first quilt will be monochromatic and have a black center square. There are some non-quilters that want to learn to sew blocks so I think this will be a good place to start.
Hopefully these will make some fun, colorful scrappy quilts for teens and adults.
What scrappy projects have you been working on?

I like those 9 patches with the dark centers! I think your volunteers are going to enjoy sewing those up, and what a great way to learn, too. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!
Love those 9 patches with the black center. Normally, I never use black, this would make me change my mind. What size are the squares? 5" or 2.5"?
What a great block for a beginner to stitch. Love the dark centers!
I love your blocks. The simplicity is going to be a fabulous finish for sure!! Sometimes I just love a good old scrappy basic quilt where the color shines through.
Hi Cynthia, I think that those blocks will be perfect to learn to sew blocks on. Have a great week!
That is a lot of squares! You'll have some great scrappy quilts once it's empty.
