I'm trying to get back into working on my Carolina Crossroads mystery. Worked on the hourglass units the other day and again for an hour today. I have 70 made now so I'm getting there. I do really like how it is turning out. It's fun see the scraps from other quilts. I did get ahead of myself and made up the blocks to see if I was going to like it. I was most concerned about the scrappy lights I was using, especially the prints, but I decided it was ok and that I should keep going.
Before I got sewing on the hourglass units I got distracted and played with the scraps to see if I could or would make crumb blocks. I've been intriqued with this idea since I read the tutorial on Patti's blog http://quiltingisstillmypassion.blogspot.com/2007/07/mile-minute-blocks-photo-tutorial.html and every time I have a crumb of fabric I can't decide what to do with it, save it or throw it. I think I have decided I'm not going to save itty bitty pieces anymore. I just don't think I need this as something else to do. I love how Patti's quilts turned out tho, maybe I'll try it with leftover blocks? Such a teaser! What can I say, I'm an ADHD quilter!
