I started it because I had some leftovers from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/02\/green-strips-donation-top\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Strip donation quilt<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I would just make a block, hand it over to Peggy and see what she could do with it. Somehow, it is has grown into this. It is about 22 x 22 inches now and I might as well just keep on using those green scraps to make it into a top. Another 10 inches on each side will not be difficult. I might even have enough scraps.<\/p>\n<p>I am almost done with another row of small strips for the right side, which will add about 4 inches to it. I grab strips or pieces out of the green bin, sew them together into some kind of strip and attach it when it is long enough. I had some plainer strips leftover from the back of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/01\/green-strips-donation-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Strip donation quilt<\/a> and have been adding those as well.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of small pieces so I am worried about the quilting (which I won&#8217;t be doing!) I am trying to reduce bulk by pressing all the seams open, which is a big pain.<\/p>\n<p>If nothing else, this is a great way to get rid of scraps. It isn&#8217;t doing anything for my collection of donation blocks, however. Tim saw the photo I posted and said that it was much more interesting than the regular postage stamp blocks the guild normally makes. Perhaps I am just branching out and using some different inspiration to create beauty for others in need? I haven&#8217;t examined my inspiration much beyond wanting to use up scraps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t know what this will be &#8211; block or quilt.
