Can't wait to see what you do with your quilt.

JANEQUILTER Thanks for your compliments.
SEWBIZGIRL both quilts are beautiful. I had forgotten about using the hour glass blocks like that. I made a quilt for my sister years ago using that design. Had not thought of using it with these blocks. I still have 13 more blocks and now I'm thinking I might use some of them with hour glass blocks. Thanks.
Here is what I call my "Scrap Lap" made from 12 of my scrap/leftover blocks. I put the border on this morning. Its 42 x 56. Batting calls it crib size, but I find its a nice size for use in a recliner. Also just a single WOF for the back, so easy peasy.

Thanks ladies. Here is another scrap lap quilt I made today. It used seven sampler blocks and eight Hourglass blocks. I had to make the borders uneven to get the size I wanted, but its not a gift and made from leftovers, so its ok! lol I used 3" borders top and bottom and 5" on the sides. It will finish to around 56 x 40. Thanks again to Sewbizgirl for the idea of using the Hourglass blocks. Its nothing fancy to post a pix of, but I know you guys/gals like to see them. The Hourglass blocks are almond and green leaf. I have a different green leaf fabric for the back.
