Contessa - A Complete Block Set


I'm only showing 12 blocks of the completed 24 block set.
Blocks finish at 10 inches. Quilt will finish at 40 x 60.
This is going into the SAR (Some Assembly Required) bin to be assembled into a top at a future date.

I decided to make these blocks because I had noticed a lot of blues and purples in my 2.5 inch width scrap bin. 


(It is actually what I call a Basket Weave pattern).

BUT
I didn't use a jellyroll. 
I didn't make as many blocks.
I didn't make stripsets of 5 WOF strips (because I didn't have that many). Instead I made 4 strip sets of 4 strips and then cut them into the 6.5 inch sections and added a 2.5 x 6.5 inch rectangle (from 2.5 inch width scrap bin) to the ends of each section. 

And sew on...

Going where the scraps take me and making comfort quilts one scrap at a time.

I like what you are doing. Gives me an idea to use any size scraps and just make blocks and add the solid sashing. I don't need another start right now so I pinned it for later;)

I have a couple left over jelly rolls --this looks like a fun way to use them--I love all the blues and purples...nice work hugs, Julierose

This one I know as "Chaser Quilt". I love the blue used for the background. Great way to clean up the 2.5" bin. Well done. ;^)
