November Leaders and Enders

While working hard to finish another quilt this week, I also made some progress on my leader/ender blocks.

I got out the box of brown scraps and cut up the littlest chunks into 1.5 x 2.5 inch pieces.


I finished up the black/gray block while starting to sew the browns.




And four 10.5 inch blocks finished so far!


Happy Scrap Happy Saturday!  Sharing at SoScrappy.

The rainbow scraps are coming along! I haven't pulled my brown crumbs out yet...maybe this weekend. I think after the brown, I should have enough to make the whole top. I've already been on the lookout for what pattern I want to start next!

I'm like Kristi, already thinking about 2018. I like your little rail fences, Diann. Maybe ....

Karen - Quilts...etc. said...

it is looking good - I can never seem to do a leader/ender - as soon as I start one it seems to be the only thing I want to work on and it becomes the main project LOL

Such a simple block, but it will be very effective in a quilt and use up those scraps, a win win.

Mari said...

Really cute blocks! Sounds like they were quick, too!

Marly said...

Those 10" blocks look lovely together. It's going to grow very fast at this rate!

Cathy said...

I worked on the same little versatile blocks but don't leader/ender. I like your layout. It's so different from mine.

A very easy leader/ender blocks. I do like the black and gray blocks with tiny bits of bright. This will be a useful quilt for any age. Keep up the good work!

Okay, you just proved that black belongs in every rainbow quilt. Awesome!
