Design Wall Monday 4.4.2022

First up, I finished the rest of my #heartsofhope blocks. I have 25 total. I'm not sure if I will ask my guild members to join in or just make more blocks. I'm almost thinking about making some 12.5 inch heart blocks to mix in...

 pattern: Bonnie Hunter's #heartsofhope sew along.

note to self: I made fabric strata by cutting 1.5 inch strips.

                    blue: pieced 3: 1.5 inch strips together than sub-cut to 3.5 inches

                    yellow: pieced 6: 1.5 inch strips together than sub-cut to 6.5 inches

                    completed heart shapes as directed

Do you ever do 'something' in the sewing room because you need to 'use up' something?

Well, I had quite a few bobbins of dark thread that I was looking to use for Baby. I also wanted to make blocks that showcased the crumbs. <lightbulb moment>

I pulled out my dark to medium blue scraps.

I was able to make 38 crumb blocks! I cut my crumb blocks at 6.5 inches square.

But, I still had quite a few pieces of the blues that were cut-offs from the first set of blocks. So, like a good quilter, I proceeded to make 31 more darker blue crumb blocks. I'm actually liking the second set better than the first set.

I was happy! All I had left are a few of the starter pieces for future blocks. Only thing, I used up just about all the darker blues from the scrap box. Not to Worry! The box is still full of the light blues! LOL

My plan is to make star blocks with the crumbs as the centers and use with this eagle panel. This is my fabric pull for this quilt.

pattern inspiration: crumb blocks, public domain

pattern inspiration: Once again, I have a photo in my library with no identification. 

                                I can only guess 'where' I saw this one...Pinterest or Facebook?

On a fun note: I won a t-shirt from the FB QOV Working Stars group for sewing along on the QOV National Sew Day and it arrived today! I'll be 'styling' when I go to sew with the local QOV group! I think it's a rather generous size!! Plenty of room to sew, iron and cut! LOL

Thanks for making it to the end of a rather long post...Somehow it just grew and grew....
