Still in love with solids

I put to good use the last pieces of my solid collection – 9″ squares. 
I spent some time wondering which fabric would look best as background: tan, black or white.
White color won. Black looks too dramatic and  anyway I think it is not a proper color for a young boy.
I have no idea what I am making here but it should be something beautiful because this quilt will be for a special 6 year boy.
There will be 56 blocks – I am struggling now with 1.5″ white squares.
These are leftovers…
Pepe thinks I shouldn’t throw them to trash!

Tomorrow the top should be done.

  1. I've been working on the little strips trimmed from my latest Dutch Treat blocks too. And I do mean LITTLE. I've saved all of them from the first two DT as well. This time I made blocks with them as I went along so not such a daunting task. Soon I'll have my recyled top pieced too.

  2. Hi,

    I love your creativity.

    You can keep the fabrics bits and make a mini quilt with them.

    Or you can give them away.

  3. I agree with Pepe :D, you should put those scraps in "that" special bag 😉
    And I'll show you how something beautiful could be born from those…
    Waiting to see the special 6 year boy quilt :)make me curious as ever…

  4. Those scraps are beautiful, if nothing else you can do what my friend did….on my birthday she filled a 2 liter bottle with scraps like that and challenged me to make a quilt in 1 year I had to present it. So you can do this for one of your quilting friends. It was a lot of fun.
