Frolic Step #2



For the second Frolic week we made rectangle blocks from neutrals and "raspberries". Instead of using strips, I used up a lot of left over charm squares making these blocks. These are from the "Miss Scarlet" charm pack. If I cut carefully I could get 6 pieces from each charm square. So happy to find a place for these leftovers!



Here are my blocks. The variety achieved when using charm squares is wonderful! 
These first 2 steps have been quick and easy. While I'm eagerly waiting for step #3, I guess I'll work on finishing some Christmas gifts!

  2. Great use of an unused Charm Pack, Kathy!! Thanks for the reminder that I have more fabric hiding in my studio than I ever imagined.

  3. Yes I am waiting too...I think this is the first mystery that I have actually kept up with the clues and finished the work. Might not be the same when we get closer to Christmas!!

  8. It's coming along well. I only ever started one of Bonnies mystery quilts, gave up, but have used some of the previously sewn blocks in other projects.

  10. Love how much variety you have with basically 2 colors, red and white or off white. Pretty amazing. Will be fun to see what you end up with. It always is.
