Spin out

Today I launched into a scrap project that I think I will scrap. I started with the delightful little spinners in Jen Kingwell's book Quilt Lovely. I used 1.5 inch strips that makes these finished 4 inch blocks.

I haven't been able to find a layout I like. Happily, there is a fox yapping out in the yard which is distracting Molly from clearing off the design wall so I have been allowed some time to fiddle. By morning, I am sure the blocks will be in a nice pile on the floor and that will mark the end of this diversion.

  1. Hmm... A block with so much potential. (And dang it, my book isn't within reach.)
    Maybe not offset?
    Ah, well. I'm sure Molly will have thought of another arrangement by morning.

  2. I have this book and can't just recall this block - my book is not within reach (same as Gayle) because I have a very sleepy kitten on my lap., but I will go and find it as soon as I can.

  3. Don't scrap it! (or if you do you can send it this way...)
    I have the book too and don't remember what her quilt looks like either. It's in a pile somewhere under some scraps.

  4. I kinda like the one you show here. Would never have done that with this block, but I think I love it......Molly may be waffling on it, but I like it!

  6. I think they're cute blocks, but as one who has recently scrapped a scrap project, I totally get it when your heart isn't in it.

  7. I quite like the little bit you've got on the wall here. I might consider a larger version - someday. ;- )
