So, what to do about that? Start something new, of course! And why not use up some scraps in the process?!
And how about a blue and white quilt while I'm at it?
I decided to make this a blue and white one block quilt, using the HST block from the Hand-Pieced QAL. Easy and quick to piece! These pieces make a 6 inch finished block.
In no time at all, I've made 4 blocks! Here's one way to put them together.
But I really like them this way!
I don't think I'll run out of hand stitching to work on in the evenings for awhile!
Sharing at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap!
and at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

This is a great idea and I love your fabric choices especially the lighter blue! You go girl!
Very nice! I can see that block in lots of different colors, if you get bored with blue.
Blue and white always look fabulous together. Lovely hand stitching and the design layout you have chosen is great.
The second setting is awesome!
so nice to see a convert to hand piecing! for such a long time it didn't seem like anyone wanted to hand piece and I seemed like the odd duck - now so many are hand piecing it is so nice to see this happen - it is so nice to slow the pace down I think
Pretty blue blocks and either layout makes me happy! I really enjoy having some kind of hand work to do in the evenings too. If I don't have bindings to stitch on a quilt, EPP is my next project of choice!
I like your arrangement and colors! Very cool that you are continuing your hand stitching. :)
Love your fabrics and such a fun block to pick for your next project!
You stitch pretty quickly by hand, 4 blocks done already! Very pretty, love the light and dark blue in those blocks.
I have a similar routine as yours. Love that second layout, and it's very fun that you enjoy hand piecing!
Pretty! That block is one I want to make some day as an RSC project. Have fun stitching!
And thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Wonderful! That is very relaxing... great job!
So pretty! You're really getting into this handwork thing :)
That is going to be so pretty!!!
Pretty fabric, Diann, and I like the second arrangement! It’s nice to be able to stitch by hand.
I hand stitched a couple of pincushions this year. It was handy because it meant I was able to carry on stitching when I was out and about.
Hugs,
