I Like Thursday # 18 ~ Celebrating Freedom


My smallest quilt celebrates freedom,
which is no small thing 
and not something I take for granted.
I am ever thankful.

This actual postage stamp sized quilt was originally posted here ...


For me the 4th of July is a family day.

So I will be catching up on Friday with my friends at






May you and yours have a safe and Happy 4th of July!

It's a Rainy Scrappy Summer Saturday ...


... a good day to sew! 

I am sewing along today with the lovely people at

SoScrappy

Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2018


where it is orange month.

I love orange!

I once used the orange Ninja Turtle as a reason to paint my sons walls a neon orange.
The boys loved Ninja Turtles at the time and orange was the  best match
for the curtains with their comic heroes
when we they got their big boys bunk beds and painted over the colorful cars and trucks that drove across the walls of their toddler years.
I think about those fun years sometimes while I sew.


I made three 6.5" blocks today


including this "transition" block which has other colors.

I have been sewing these 1.5" squares together as leaders and enders
for about a year and a half.

I started this scrap quilt Here for the RSC 2016.

I do have a stack of blocks now ... still not enough for a quilt ...

... someday ... :-)

2.5" strips are being sorted and used for this year's project.

I have sketched a plan for a new scrap quilt.

I need to find some grey to sew these units into blocks.


I am still slowly sewing my 1.5" scrap squares into 
these Postage Stamp blocks
that I started for the 
Not enough blocks fro a quilt yet.
This is a leaders and enders project 
and I have a basket full of pairs to sew into more blocks.


I also used up some of the smallest uneven scraps for this 
free form improv  block.

This was my 


for the day.

Linking up today with


Lots of wonderful inspiration in the links!

Hope you are having a scrappy happy day!

pretty Irish Chain Blocks as setting blocks.

It rained so I did not get to the orchard to pick apples.
Maybe tomorrow.
