leaders

 

Even though the RSC quilt isn’t finished,  I want to make a scrap quilt this year from what’s left in my modest scrap buckets (small plastic containers actually),

I’d seen some quilters write about leaders and enders as they made other projects and thought I might do the same.

So I made some test blocks to see if I liked the design. I do. Very much. So these will be a leaders and enders as I work on my other projects.

I already have 2.5 inch squares cut and a selection of 2.5inch strips left over from other projects. Most of them aren’t full fabric width either. Fabric selection will be  random. The block size is 12 inches finished. 25 needed for a 5x5 block lap quilt once there are borders or I might make a 6x6 with no borders.

Then, to make my day, a crafting friend was clearing out her cupboards and gifted me a bag of quilting fat quarters. Very generous and much appreciated.
