Maple Leaves and Nines

A little bit of red sewing has been going on in my studio this week.  I made a red maple leaf and a red nine patch to add to my collection of 6.5 inch blocks.  Red is definitely one of my favorite colors!


I've made four different red 6.5 blocks this month - can you tell what my current favorite red scraps are? :) (And that fabric is almost gone - sigh...)


Here's how the maple leaves and nine patches are looking all together.


Although I don't yet have any big plans for these blocks, I'm starting to think that these blocks will go together in one quilt, and I'll be doing other things with the bow ties and the crumb blocks.  After having some quilting deadlines the last couple of weeks, it's just fun to play!

    Those 2 blocks do look really good together and would make a nice quilt. Let's hear it for using up that fabric!

    Don't you hate using up the last bit of some fabrics? Saying goodbye is sometimes difficult. .

    Play is good...
