The Quiltville leader-ender project from last July was the Shoo Fly block. Bonnie gave instructions for two blocks sizes and I made the 4" size because smaller blocks use up all the littlest scraps. A new project will be announced next month, so I have been motivated to get the 2019 leader-ender project finished.  |
| Auditioning sashing fabrics |
Once I had sewn 120 blocks, I decided to join 4 blocks together (chosen randomly) using white sashing. Then I attached a light floral sashing on 2 sides of each set of 4 shoo fly blocks.

I just need 20 more blocks to make another row and then it will be the perfect size and I can get the quilt top together before the next leader-ender project starts...woo hoo!

The blocks looks so nice. I'm looking forward to seeing what Bonnie's new project is, she did say it won't have triangles. Happy stitching!

Oh, the Shoo Flies are so cute! (Sparkly fireflies?)
Thanks for posting a link to the L&E annual challenges, too.
I like how you have set them. I am no where close with mine
Really pretty shoo fly quilt top--love all the colors--and I will be waiting this year to see what Bonnies new leader and ender project is--

It's going to be SEW lovely, Kathy! Best of luck on getting the top sewn together. Wondering what the next Leader/Ender Challenge will be...
Such sweet little blocks! Leader/enders quietly add up until POOF! an entire quilt is born :)
So pretty, I love those little shoo-fly blocks. I may have to make one of these. Can't wait to see your finished quilt!
Kewl - good to see the little sashing in case I might want to try that. My fabric is on the table, all yet uncut. One of these days ...
What a great looking shoo fly - all the colors!
oh wow, what a pretty project. Love your scrap usage here.
Looking lovely
Isn't it exciting to find blocks made of scraps between other quilts an exciting production time? This will be lovely when completed!
