\"9<\/a>
9 Black & Grey Donation Blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I started out, after Grama died<\/a>, cutting black and grey 2.5″ squares. I have one scrap drawer for black, grey and brown and, as you may recall, my scrap bin was overflowing. Earlier this week, I picked up the project again and found that I had 9 squares. I think I mentioned that I had lost a few of the squares. I found them in a pile.<\/p>\n

I really wanted the background to mostly be the speckle grey I used for the T-Shirt quilt<\/a>. I am not sure that is going to work as I don’t think I have enough to make many more blocks.<\/p>\n

Due to the colors, my idea was to make it larger to appeal to a teen in need, but unless I have yardage left, I’ll have to find another grey. I do have some various greys from the edge of the T-Shirt quilt; I am just not quite sure that is the way I want to go.<\/p>\n

Black & Grey Donation Blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I used this project as a leaders and enders project while working on the Scrapitude blocks. I thought I made an additional 6 blocks, but when I counted them up, I was disappointed to find only an additional 4. I am glad I have as many as I have, but it is still not enough to make into a teen quilt. I will need to rethink my design idea by looking through my greys and see what I think I can do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
