Boxes O’ Fun


For those of you who have been totally confused as of late in regards to where I am coming up with all the funky blocks, I will try to explain a bit.

For those of you who haven't been following, here are some pictures:

This is my treasure trove from which I am working. Some pieces are constructed from strips of fabric cut at gentle angles, then randomly sewn back together again. Some are crisscrossed again with more strips of fabric.

This is a box of small squares cut from those larger pieced units.

These pieced strips are leftover from a previous quilt. Most of you will figure out which quilt without too much trouble.

These are random log cabin blocks made from leftover strips.

This is my big, overflowing box of batik strips—sort of the glue that holds all the other goodies together in whatever order suits my fancy on a particular day. Great for stress relief and certainly more productive and healthier than some other choices.

  1. You certainly have some wonderful toy boxes. I've never tried piecing strips. If I didn't have spring fever I think this post would make me dive into my stash and try it.
    Have a great weekend!
