Oh yes! These scrappy churn dash blocks are so addicting! I now have 78 of them! I just need 50 more to set my quilt top! Woohoo! (They'll finish at 5".)

(I don't know why my pictures are sideways......sorry! It wouldn't correct! I know it doesn't really change anything, but it's just annoying on the perspective!)
AND.......since I was swimming in shirt pieces and scraps.......I thought I'd give those mini log cabins a whirl! I am using up all the little scraps left from the churn dashes, too........so great! And I now have 24 of these!!!

Holy cow!!! They are so much more fun doing them the way Kathie at Inspired by Antique Quilts showed! (Thanks, Kathie!!) I've done little blocks like these before (they'll finish at 4"), and have always paper pieced them, just because I thought I had to for the accuracy in the small piecing! NO MORE! Ha HA! I'm doing them in batches of 12, but as I'm finishing one batch, the leader/enders are starting new ones......so they just keep coming! I love that! I had these 24 in no time at all! (Well, ok.....I was up until 3 this morning, just sewing away......not even realizing what time it was! They are THAT much fun! lol) The centers are a mix of the red plaids I had. Totally scrappy!
I worked on them again today, and now I will do some more churn dash blocks! I'm really loving using up some of these shirt plaids!
Ok.....back to it! :o)
