Scrap Saturday Black


 I got a RSC13 quilt top done at retreat last weekend. My mom and I went to a retreat run by my aunt (Smiley Quilter). It is four days long, so I got lots done. I had to finish four more blocks and then I got the top put together. It measures 45" square. I do not think I will put a boarder on it. Maybe just quilt it after Christmas. I am busy quilting for customers between now and Christmas.


Close up of the piecing and fabrics. 


I worked on some black scraps this past week. I love doing this Poverty Piecing (crumb blocks). I find it hard to stop sewing the little bits together. They are just so additive to sew. I did 7 black ones but then counted up all that I have done this year. So far I have over 70 blocks 6" sq each. 

I have added this post to the  linky Party at Soscrappy 

I am going to a dog agility fun trial later today. Should be fun.

  3. Beautiful quilt.
    I love crumb piecing also and agree that it can be addicting. It's fun to remember what all the scraps came from. I'm glad you told me they are 6 inches. They sure look larger! I use most of mine as I go into donation quilts but am thinking I'll start saving some for a rainbow quilt.
