Oooooh! I am loving watching this all come together. :D One of these days I'm going to do this too.
It's brilliant seeing all the suprises - like the house & ladder. Looking forward to seeing how it ends up. :D:D

Ok, that mess of S&C in the first post is gone and I had to empty another bag but these are larger piece, thank God! lol.
I am working on a long part going down both sides of the other four pieces and have more that half done last night. Notice my little doggies with the kerchef?
Then I just took a ladder and placed it in the bottom space and will work from there.
I will probably switch the pieces around once I get them done.

I had lots of leftover pieces of pinks and greens and a rose print. Made all the small rail fence blocks I could, starting with dark greens and darker pinks and the rose print. As I ran out of those I used the next lighter color and continued. When I put it together I put all the darks in one corner and then gradually added the lighter ones and then the lightest ones. When I got it all together I thought it was too long and narrow so I added an appliqued border up one side and then put a dark green border all around. My very favorite quilt to date!

These are not finished by any means. I don't want a block to block look. I want it to flow together as a whole, so I have to do a connection somewhere.
I put the three together and I can see where there is an outside strip, it gives the block appearance. I turned the top two with no strips on that side and I can see what I like. I love the black intersperced here and there.
I now think I should put some cats and dogs and houses in. I got some neat blocks out of "Sew Precise".
The two blocks on the top, show the striped pieces of the long string that I did. I filled in the curve at the dip and left the round part alone and then I cut the whole strip straight. I just add and square up as I go but love the crooked things inside.
I will update as I make more mindless.

Why waste a good scrap when it can be used like this and have a wonderful quilt in the end! I love this! But...I get so bored and have little patience with small pieces. You are an inspiration. Will cont. to watch this grow. Thank You for sharing.
