scrappy economy block

 Hi thank you all for your positiveness regarding my sketch.
I thought I would reward you with some patchwork!
Don't tell anyone
but I seem to have joined in with something!
With my efforts to reduce my scraps being poor to none
I thought this economy block was just the thing 
to lessen the load.
And because you have been ever so nice
an update to the crazy one.
I was thinking how my quilts are all different 
yet go well together..
I guess fabric choice has a lot to do with it.
This is another a little experiment with colour choice
it is what it is
okay with a little tweaking here and there.
100%   s-crappy fabrics

You can find a tutorial and qal links  here
 I used Crazy Mom Quilts measurements
which makes the finished block a little over 8.5 inches.
ps.
I know they are not perfectly square...
but who wants to be square right?!

  12. The crazy one's looking good.
    I thought I would join in with the economy block. I made one to try it out then put it on hold whilst working on something or two else. Mine's small size and fussy cut.

  14. Am loving the earthy colours of your latest 100% genuine scrappy quilt blocks! The blues and turquoises with the earthy brown shades are very restful and timeless, and you just have such a knack for getting the fabrics right even though they are scraps and not a carefully selected palette of pre-matched fabrics- it takes skill to do that! And I love how the white striped fabrics give it all a bit of a kick!
    The crazy one is looking fun!
    Have a great weekend Clare!
