Another project?!?!

Yes. I have been enticed to start the Riley Blake 2022 block challenge. I swear I wasn't going to, but the blocks have been too fun to not make them! 
Why, you ask? Well, the more small pieces there are in a block, the more I like it!

Each Tuesday one 10" block pattern is posted and there will be a total of 16 blocks. Each block pattern comes from a different designer, some of whom I recognize and some I don't.


Here is block #1
Daisy Chain designed by Lori Holt with 39 pieces.



Here is block #2 Sweetheart designed by Beverly McCullough with 42 pieces. I adore this one!

I don't have a plan for these blocks and am just making the blocks from whatever is on my cutting table. And because I am a long time member of the rainbow scrap challenge, I am surrounded by red scraps this month. These blocks might be turned into placemats, or might become a sampler quilt. I'm waiting for some inspiration to make make that decision.

A few leader-ender fish blocks are being made too!

  2. It is fun when new quilts just demand to be made. Those are highly adorable blocks. The fish are also adorable. Looks like you've had a good sewing week.

  4. Beautiful blocks! Those reds are so pretty. It's dangerous to read your blog (especially that post about the mystery quilt alongs), there is just too much temptation!

  13. Blocks with lots of little pieces? Of course, it's right up your alley. Who cares if you've started a gazillion other projects? I know you'll have fun.
