DESIGN WALL MONDAY
I haven't managed to find time to pin-baste the next couple of tops, so I pulled out a "leader and ender" project that I designed on EQ7 a while ago.
I began with 4-patch blocks that I had made with my 2 inch squares of scraps. Then put four 4-patch blocks together to make a 16 patch block.
For the alternate block, I decided on a pinwheel made of 4 half-square triangle blocks (or triangle square blocks). Love the assembly line sewing!
I am using a consistant light fabric for the pinwheels and the pieced borders that I have planned. I chose fabric from my floral stash to make all the pinwheels.

Can't wait to see the assembled top. Love leader and enders.
ReplyDeleteLove scrap quilts, love using leftovers and love leaders and enders! Can't wait to see how this evolves.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you and I share the same approach to L&Es: after a while I get impatient with sewing them between other blocks/units, and I just go ahead and crank out a bunch. In no time at all there's a stack of blocks ready to go....your 16p + pinwheels look intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI love scrap quilts and use leaders & enders techniques too. Looking forward to seeing the two blocs together.
