Scraps and maybe a new quilt?

While I'm working on T3 I've also continued hand piecing blocks with scraps. Meanwhile I have quite a reasonable number and I've started to think of how to design a quilt top with them.

Neben der Arbeit an T3, nähe ich auch weiterhin meine Stoffrestchen von Hand zu kleinen Blöcken zusammen. Inzwischen habe ich schon eine ganze Menge und begonnen mir zu überlegen, wie ich ein Quilttop damit gestalten könnte.

Mentre continuo il lavoro con T3 continuo ancora a cucire a mano dei piccoli blocchi con i miei resti. Intanto ne ho fatto parecchi e incomincio a pensare a come proseguire per farne un quilt.



I've been thinking of combining these blocks with some black and white fabric. Yesterday I went to IKEA for another reason and came across this light cotton fabric. I could not resist.

Ich habe daran gedacht, sie mit schwarz/weiss-Stoffen zu kombinieren. Als ich gestern aus einem anderen Grund bei IKEA war, habe ich diesen leichten Bauwollstoff gesehen und konnte nicht widerstehen.

Avevo pensato a combinare qualcosa con delle stoffe in bianco e nero e quando ieri per caso ho visto questo leggero cotone da IKEA non ho potuto resistere.


I have an idea. I think I might give it a try.

Ich habe eine Idee und denke, ich versuch's mal.

Un'idea c'è l'avrei e penso che mi butterò.

  1. These are such cute improv pieced pieces and it will be great to give them the space to breathe with the monochrome background! Love it so far and perfect for those smaller scraps! Thanks for linking up to #scraptastictueday

  2. Delightful, analogous blocks, Pasqualina. And what interesting Ikea fabric - the pattern looks like mesh from a gardening box. Love how you're cutting it up. I look forward to seeing this progress. Thanks for sharing.

  4. This is something like what I'm doing in blue with a touch of browns. I think I like your colors much more...guess I'll have to begin another quilt! That Ikea fabric will really allow them to stand out and give the eye a rest, so you've made a great choice!
