When I made my String Bean Quilt (Pat Sloan's Quilt Pattern) I had scraps and extra leftover fabric. I cut all my scraps into 2 inch squares. There were some charms left and there were a couple pieces of bright fabrics that I did not use in the String Bean Quilt that I had pulled out to use. Because it coordinated so well, I cut it into 2 inch squares too!
I started sewing the squares together, while I was sewing my I Spy Quilt (I haven't shared that here yet), I used them as leaders and enders, when chain piecing (sewing).

Then last week Sunday, I sewed for a couple hours and stitched tons of 4 patches.

Next I stitched them into a row of four 4 patches - that's 8 squares across and 2 down.

I made a fruit snack in the middle of the day. It looked like my String Bean Quilt.

Of course, food arranged on a plate --- Looks like a quilt to me!

Today for Sunday Sewing, I made more progress. I stitched together the rows to make ten 64 patch quilt blocks. I had no idea how many squares I had. I just kept sewing...

I received a rose on Friday. I placed it on my table, so I could enjoy it while I was sewing.

I displayed them on a white sheet. That's my design wall.

I kind of like it this layout.
Maybe a print fabric?
Maybe a purple fabric?
Maybe an orange fabric?
I am pretty sure, I do not like the white fabric.

Maybe I should put them right next to each other.

I like that too. Time to pause and think...

With ten blocks, I have an extra one. I could seam rip it and make another row on the bottom.

I like the squares next to each other, but I will try some colorful print fabrics tomorrow or next Sunday, as I ran out of daylight and my fun sewing time.

I love sewing on Sunday afternoons --- Sunday Scraps!
Do you sometimes, just sew for fun???
Enjoy your day!

I like the setting of the blocks together as a postage stamp quilt - just love the color of this. This is my kind of fun sewing.
Love the squares set together...so colorful and cheerful!

Marcia, you could just cover all of your dining room chairs.... just kidding.
I love this kind of sewing and I have enough scraps to make ....probably a hundred 16 block squares. Yes, that much. I will do that one day.
I think this is one you might have to ruminate on for a while.... let it simmer a few days. pull out some solid colors and see what sparks.
These big blocks have such joyful colors in them. I agree, not white.
Love always and have a great fun Monday
I like the postage stamp quilt placement. LOVE the colors and prints of your happy 2" blocks.
i love using up scraps to make a good cosy quilt
I can't believe how much you got done in one day. The fabrics are so pretty. I kind of like the look of the postage stamp idea, too. Very striking!
I like the postage stamp look.
The colors are bright and cheery.
What type seam allowance do you use - is it 1/4 inch?
