These two quilt tops will eventually become my Hands to Help donations for this year. The one on the upper left started as some 9 patches and some 1 1/2" strips. It grew to this point, (35" x 43"). The one on the right is a bit smaller at 26" x 30". It is all 1 1/2" squares sewn together as leaders and enders. I am working on another one and will definitely make it bigger. My younger grandson held these up for me. He thought I should hold them up since I made the quilts. And he would take the pictures. I won that particular discussion.
He and I went to see the new Jungle Book movie on Saturday afternoon. That showing was 2D. His older brother said he didn't want to go. Good choice. Grandson number 2 liked it but we both figured number one would have found it a bit too much. I did close my eyes for the snake part.
Only sewing that has happened this weekend is some mending of trousers. Piecefully, Joanne

Little bitty squares dancing - makes my heart sing.
ReplyDeleteToo much tiny work and I would get crossovers. Lookin good.
ReplyDeletesuch tiny little squares. Love these. What a super helper too!
ReplyDeleteYour tops are looking great. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteVery nice quilts. I am glad to see I am not the only person who saves 1.5" squares. I have sewn all of mine and I am not cutting 1.5" squares anymore.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful tops those are. I really, REALLY like your 9-patch one. I save 2.5" squares. 2" ones get mailed to a teenager in Utah, and anything smaller than 1.5 gets tossed. =) Even so, scraps overrun my quilt room!
ReplyDeleteThis post was wonderful and excellent. I had a great time reading it because it was precisely what I needed. I recently read a piece on this subject Canuckle Word. a fun way to kill time and work on your vocabulary.
