making some scrappy blocks
#53
The polyester fabric that is used to attach bed ruffles is a perfect backing for these scrappy squares. I have tons of it from taking apart bed ruffles for the fabric. I have been wondering what to do with it, and now I know!!!

If you use dryer sheets for block foundation does it stay together or come apart after a few washings? Does anybody know? If you use batting for the foundation wouldn't you want it bigger for the sashing and then would'nt it be a QAYG block and put backing on?

I like this block! I made a scrappy block like that, and then trimmed them all to be the same size. It worked out great. I separated them with sashing in a beige tone on tone and the blocks really stand out. I love my quilt!

Thanks so much for the tute & your blocks are so very pretty. I love the idea of putting a sashing around each block. This is a definate "bookmark".
Thanks for sharing :)

I can imagine that kids would love looking over these scrappy fabrics and discovering different motifs...like an I Spy quilt.
I had a friend that made colorwash quilts but she would love to sneak in a tiny object that blended but could be discovered if someone took the time to look closely. Fun!
We all have scraps, thanks for posting this!
