SUPER Scrap buster #50 Potato chip block - Crossing(potato) fields

There are probably few scrappy patterns that if you only ever use these, you can make million variations of the quilt. This is one of them Potato chip block - very versatile and easy to put together. After making few with just 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangles I wanted to add little more definition by using solids for a contrast. I have called the pattern Crossing (potato) fields. I used mix of Scrapstore fabric finds, recycled fabric from shirts and bits from bedding. It all blend nicely together in that design. If you haven't make one before, I totally recommend one especially if you do it as a part of leaders and enders - it will just make itself!

Scrap buster #49.1 Half Hexi blocks GO BIG: how many do I need? Combinations and table runner

This is my second take on large half hexi blocks. I have made few more design options and now I have a headache to figure out which layout to go with. So while I ponder on it, I decided to make something smaller for a start - self binded table runner. You can add more or less blocks to fit any size and due to shape you have quite modern look. It will make funky place mats as well. And I used up a loooot of scraps for these blocks so all round bonus here.

Scrap buster #49 Half Hexi blocks GO BIG and scrap madness

Half hexagon or hexagon quilt was on my agenda for a while now and now it came to pass. At least the first type of the blocks I want to make for my next project. The craziest ones. I didn’t want to work with gazillions of small pieces so I used my scraps to make large half hexagons. They look so much more fun put together. Haven’t decided on the layout yet but its going to be interesting for sure. It is a mix of new and recycled fabrics and it actually made a bit of dent in my scrap box. I had small ruler for half hexagons but made my own template for large one. Work will continue on 4 more types before I can complete this one.
