Design Wall Monday
Finally all the Shoo Fly blocks are on the design wall and the quilt top is coming together. Many sections are sewn together, and I hope to finish the quilt top this week. There are 140 Shoo Fly blocks in this quilt!
I started this quilt last July with Bonnie Hunter's leader-ender challenge and made 4" scrappy blocks each month following the colours announced at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
Many of the scraps came from leftovers from friends' projects and most came from projects I have worked on over the past year. I have had a great time making these blocks, but now there is a new leader-ender project to start, so this one must be finished!

Love those fussy cut blocks! I typed "fussy cute" at first, and that's actually a good phrase for these :)
ReplyDeleteI have followed your blog for quite a while now. Love all the scrappy quilts you make. You make so many... what do you do with them? 💐
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of little blocks!
ReplyDeleteI love all the little blocks!
ReplyDeleteI started Shoo Fly Shoo, but wasn’t happy with them. I think my scraps made ugly shoo fly block! I am trying Easy Breezy this year! I hope I like them better!
ReplyDeleteGood thing you really like working with such small blocks. This will be a treasure. PS the link to Small Quilts doesn't link.

Yea! It looks like a finish is in your near future. I like the shoe fly but didn't participate. But I've started Easy Breezy at 6". I'm done with itty bitty blocks. (although, honestly, I know 4" really isn't itty bitty!)
ReplyDeleteSuch happy and cute blocks! I didn’t join last year’s leader—ender as it was just too small for me, but jumped in on Easy Breezy. So simple and triangle free.
ReplyDeleteThose fussy cut blocks are so cute...I just love scrap quilts...so much variety and look how the placement of fabrics changes the blocks!
ReplyDeleteSuper scrappy = Super fun, Kathy!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful Shoo Fly flimsy! I love the fussy cut blocks. Still working on mine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking quilt top! Such a classic, pleasing block in these colors.:)
ReplyDeleteOh, they sparkle! Do you set a quota for each of the monthly colors?
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute! Love the fussy-cuts!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Kathy! It's amazing how you can make the same block in different fabrics and it comes out looking like something completely different. Your Shoo Fly blocks sparkle like jewels; and the fussy cut centers are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow you must have so much patience it looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteGreat Shoo Fly blocks! I love it when people just use the leader/ender challenge as REAL leader/enders! I love how the blocks are so different but still a Shoo Fly. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I really like how you vary contrast and fabric to get some different shapes/looks sprinkled here and there. Great way to use some fussy cuts, too.
ReplyDeleteSo many interesting fabrics. You have a great collection gathered from friends and your own stash I like the maple leaf fabric block. So representative of your country.
ReplyDeleteLove your small size Shoo Fly blocks, they look amazing!
