Scrappy Saturday

As my readers know I have a large sewing machine collection that I call "the herd" that you can read about here. And now I have started a new sewing machine collection made of fabric!




Last year the Fat Quarter Shop posted a free pattern of a sewing machine block in 3 different sizes. I immediately fell in love with it, and I have been making a block here and there as time and interest permit.


I decided to make a 3" and a 6" block for aqua month. These are the pieces cut out and ready to sew. I love my Alphabitties for organizing small pieces! I don't know how I used to sew complex blocks without them!

I made a 6" aqua machine and a 3" aqua machine. So. Darn. Cute. 

I like digging through the scraps and finding a large enough piece to make a block.

And here is the block collection pinned across the top of my design wall. So far there are 5 large machines and 3 small ones. Is it odd that I have no interest in the 9" block size!?!?


What are you sewing with your aqua scraps this month? Linking up to the weekly RSC party

    I do not find it odd at all that the 9 inch blocks seems to big. Everything tiny is cuter after all! What a fun collection.

    Just a question: Did you ever finish your scrappy sprouts quilt? I tried looking in your finished quilts link but didn't find it.

    This will be just right for your sewing room! I guess that's the plan you have for it?

    Small and TINY sewing machine blocks are SEW much cuter than a larger size might be, Kathy! Of course, this is coming from a quilter who sees EVERY quilt pattern in a shrunken version. LOL!!

    So cute. I can just imagine these turned into a sewing room bunting.
