I already have 5 projects in progress for RSC so what did I do? I decided to add another one to the mix. I had fun making the jumbo granny square blocks so I decided to make one in reds. It only takes 12 blocks to make a quilt the size I want since these blocks finish at 18".
I also pieced twelve 16 block squares but I only had room for 9 blocks on the display wall.
All of these blocks were pieced with 2.5" squares.

WOW Red Jumbo is fantastic, Gretchen!!!Are you planning a Rainbow Jumbo or will make a red quilt?
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of beautiful 2,5" red square!
Beautiful 16 patch blocks
I won't make all the rainbow colors but the blocks won't be all red. But all red blocks would make an interesting quilt. Who know what I'll decide before we change colors in June. Happy stitching!
Deletegood way to use up scraps, I am enjoying making large blocks as well right now
