Moving Along

When I left off with Scrappy Sprouts last week, I had deconstructed one column of blocks from the right side of the quilt and was working on rearranging them into a narrower, but taller group.


Meanwhile, all the Tiny Tuesday blocks are finished, and grouped into rows, ready to sew together.



I knew I'd need an additional sprout to even things out, and decided it needed to be a lighter color - so I made one in lime green!


With the addition of some more Kona grass green, the sprouts were sewn back together, and I'm happier with the size now.  This section measures about 48 x 48.


You can see that I've started working on the sky section now, too, laying out 2.5 inch squares, starting with low volumes like I used in the sprouts blocks and transitioning into blues.  The top needs to be about 12.5 x 48, so that's a lot of little squares to cut!

But Scrappy Sprouts is moving along, and I'm so happy about that!

    This size is much more workable for that sky. And since you’re always full of good ideas, I’m sure it’s going to be so cute when it’s done!

    I agree with the other two, it's 'lookin goood' ( as Freddy Prinz? used to say).

    I'm going to do select blocks of the tiny patterns next year. I just need to decide what I am using for the setting squares and what to do with the block colors. I am dreaming of using the recent purchases and purple, olive, gold, and burnt umber as my focus. I just can't decide!! Can't wait to see how you set yours.

    I've forgotten. Are you appliquing some flowers on top of the sprouts?
    Looking good so far.

    Your sprouts are such a cheery thing on this drizzly cold day. The grassy green border just picks it up. Can’t wait to see the sky.
