stripes and dots blocks and my latest play...

My first post, I'm new here.  (Hey there!)

Wanted to get the challenge blocks made and mailed to the big city.  They were fun to make!

I now realize that I have TONS of dot fabric.  I could make an entire quilt out of dots with little duplication.

And that I have a very limited selection of stripes.  I had to cut into my Ikea stash for a couple of pieces (but that's okay, I've had them a while and never found a use for them).

And that I do not have one single plaid fabric in my studio!!

Both blocks are 9" square (because that is the size of my only square ruler....)

I've also been working on a scrap quilt for the past couple of weekends.  A few more rows to go:



Peace, health & happiness,
Deb
