I dug through the 2.5" strip box and pulled out a variety of strips. A lot of them were just dull colors or not very pretty but it was time for them to be cut up and sewn! They'll calm down the brighter yellows. I ended up with 20 8" finished easy breezy blocks.
I also needed to pull more yellows, some of the yellows left in the box are more orange than yellow but they work.
I've counted the blocks, I need 20 more then I'll have enough blocks to make 3 flimsies. I'll sew those 20 next month.
There are some teal strips in the box so in August I'll be sewing the last 20 blocks in teal no matter what color is designated for August.
Linking to Scrap Happy Saturday.
I love how you're making those with the darker outside borders. Those are pretty!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Diann. The color placement of your EB blocks gives them a whole other unique look!
ReplyDeletevery nice and I really like making the easy breezy blocks
ReplyDeleteDear Gretchen,
ReplyDeleteHave the same issue, so no matter what the colour is this month, working on the not so bright colours to make a top for my sister in law. Stopped by at our local quilt shop to see if they had something to add some colour, they had final sale packs with colours and prints in them, Five meters of fabric for fifteen dollars? Three followed me home. Now I can do something with the dull fabrics. Teal is a good colour to brighten up your blocks. Looking forward to seeing your blocks all together. Have a fantastic week.
Pretty little blocks and easy tonstitch, a winner for sure!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty, Gretchen. ♥
ReplyDeleteThis week I played with my EB blocks also.
Your Easy Breezy blocks look awesome, Gretchen. Such pretty fabrics you are using. I bet these are a whole lot of fun to make. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
