two birds.

Hello sweet ladies. 
I hope that your week is off to a fabulous start.
I have joined two quilt alongs.  Nuts you say?  Not at all!  It could not be a better blend.
The swoon along  and sew scraps along 2012.  As I sewed my first swoon block yesterday, I cut and sewed a block using only my scraps!
The swoon along flickr page has close to 300 members (and still plenty of room if you would like to play along-the more the merrier).
Here is my first scraps only block.  I will have nine of these blocks by the end of creating the swoon quilt.  
I'll be back on Friday to show you my first swoon block.

  8. Sounds pretty smart to me! Your scrap blocks are lovely! I'm definitely taking Katy's lead with Swoon, to finish the one I started last year. It will be fun watching all of the Swoon blocks pop up!

  15. How clever to create a scrap block straight away. I made a bow tie quilt from my offcuts and I was surprised to find a whole stash of kona snow strips the other day....another prize left over from Swoon! Enjoy!
