On my design wall today are the blocks for Scrap Dance Tango. I was interested in the mystery project but did not relish the idea of making 300 or 400 HST blocks. However when I was at quilt camp my friend Gillian gifted me with about 250 scrappy HST blocks leftover from a quilt she had made. They weren't exactly the right size blocks, but I knew I would use them anyway to start my own version of Scrap Dance Tango.
I set aside all the projects I had taken to quilt camp and got right to work pressing, counting and sewing these blocks.

Quilting and photography are my two favourite hobbies. It was such fun to look for places to take interesting photos of quilt blocks. I won't bore you with all the shots of the finished 88 blocks, but this photo might be my favourite!

Love your flock of little blocks in the tree!
What an awesome picture of your blocks! I love your colors - how wonderful to be gifted a jump start on the project. I am trying very hard not to start this one but your wonderful posts are definitely tempting me!
Fabulous, Kathy!! Thank you for mentioning the Scrap Dance Tango mystery. You have a great start with your Step 2 units! I like the colors a lot!!
I love those blocks. That is going to be a beautiful quilt.
It's a lot of HST. Beautiful colors and I loved the photo with the blocks.
Have a wonderful week.
You do have an eye for taking pics of blocks in places I would never have thought of!!
That is a lot of HSTs!!! The photo in the snow is wonderful.
That's a great pic! You made great use of those gifted HST blocks.
I can so relate to the fact that gifted scraps can take over the priority spot in your sewing and become your focus. Cute little blocks and I love the creative photo. : )
I love playing with my quilts in photos, too!!
Love your cute little scraps.
Greetings,

I have started taking "blocks in the wild outdoors" photos for the block lotto ... so I really appreciate your block photos today :-)
