Double Delight

The first group of 3.5" square in a square blocks for the rolling stone blocks are finished, all 256 of them!


I needed to cut more yellow squares and mistakenly cut them 1/8" smaller than they should have been. I may need to remake some of them, they don't look quite square but I'll worry about that when I'm sewing the blocks together.

There was no problem with squaring them up, they were definitely oversized!

Next to sew is the next group of 3.5" squares, the outside corner blocks. Once those blocks are completed, I can sew the rolling stone blocks together.

Double Delight is a free Bonnie Hunter pattern from her website. Scroll down to the bottom of the page where the old mysteries are listed.

    Hi Gretchen, those are going to be lovely on a quilt. I think that I'm officially addicted to scraps - I got really excited by your mound of scraps! Oh well, to each her own I guess ;-) Have a great weekend.

    I love blues and yellow. I have some of the fabric line that you used in the center of the SnS blocks. Going to be a pretty quilt. Hugs
