Blue is the September colour for RSC so I have taken the opportunity to make a Coin Crumb flimsy from finished 4.5” Boyish Crumb blocks alternated with blue fabrics. I used a blue check fabric I bought on sale years ago for all the sashing and in the process finished every scrap of it!
There are some interesting snippets of fabrics in the top, good for I Spy.
I sorted out all my small strings and scraps and made 8 more Blue 5.5” String blocks.
My box of string blocks is very full so I sorted them into colours and discovered I now have 38 Blue ones so I’m going to look back over some photos I have of String blocks quilts designs and perhaps next week I can put together another flimsy? Cathy at Crazy by Design has made lots of lovely String Quilts so I’m going to have a look through her blog posts for some ideas!
Hoping to baste the Coin Crumb flimsy this afternoon.
Linking up with Angela’s SoScrappy RSC 2022 blog.
