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. 
The quilt center is almost stitched together, again - assembly line piecing, and I have the first border prepared and ready to sew, as soon as I press all the seams....

Check out other's creativity this week at Judy's Patchwork Times.

  3. It 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!

  4. I love scrap quilts and use leaders & enders techniques too. Looking forward to seeing the two blocs together.
