Beautiful Woven Quilt Blocks from your scrap strips
I came across this little video tute online today, to make a beautiful (and different) block from scrap 2" and 3" strips. The end result is lovely!

And... another Boom Swap is about to begin, so I'll be busy making those blocks too. I will get back to a "woven" quilt like in the video, later on when my sewing table is not so full of WIPs. LOL.

I tried making some blocks and there was a lot of ripping involved! I got so confused about what goes where... But finally I have 12. From my experience, I would say to use ALL medium tone fabrics. That is what is best for these.

Eventually I will! I'm currently making the Faux Diamond blocks that I saw on another YouTube video. I just love them!
I think this is the faux diamond you are making? It certainly used up a lot of five in squares. Here is what I ended up with

I think this is one of those blocks that I'd have to use the video to make them. I'd probably get confused too

Yes, I have a top like that, waiting its turn to be quilted. Yours is so intriguing.
