For my next project, I'm making a Puss in the Corner quilt utilizing blocks left from the Wilfred & Cloves quilt made several years ago. That pattern is from Creating Heirlooms One Stitch at a Time by Carolyn Konig. I made my quilt larger than Carolyn's pattern called for, I wasn't very good at figuring how many blocks I needed so there were leftover blocks.
When my daughter saw the quilt, she thought the blocks would make a pretty quilt by themselves without the center applique, so I put all the fabrics, blocks and partials blocks in a bag for someday. Someday is now here.
The above blocks were left from the original quilt.
I press the pink/brown blocks differently from the aqua-teal/red blocks so they lock together when sewing.
The blocks alternate so you have a 4 patch in the corners of each block.
I need a total of 263 blocks, the teal/red blocks have been pieced and I'm working on the pink/brown blocks.I'm not planning to add a pieced border to the top and bottom of the quilt like I did for Wilfred & Cloves, I'm also not adding the applique either.
I love the technique of strip piecing and strip piece all I can. The center strip is cut 4" and the side strips are 1-1/2".
Half of the strips are cut into 4" widths and the other half are 1-1/2" widths. I have added fabrics to the fabric left from the original quilt.

I don't have an AccuQuilt cutter, I use the poor man's cutter, a June Tailor Speed Cut mat.
The pictures aren't placed where I want them but I'm not in the mood to argue with Blogger.
