Sew On . . .

4" high stack of Boxed Square blocks
April 2021

Once the 2.5 inch strips were cut and prepped for the Boxed Square blocks, I couldn't stop sewing. It was extremely satisfying to see the stack of blocks grow higher and the stacks of strips grow smaller.

After the Boxed Squares kits were all sewn, I tackled the stacks of 2.5 inch squares, sewing them into two-patch units that would eventually become four-patch blocks. 

Creating blocks from scraps is almost like making a "free" quilt.

  2. So true - it feels like a free quilt. In a way it really is free since you didn't buy anything new to make it. Love those boxed squares and thinking I should put that back onto my list of future quilts to make again.

  4. I like free quilts! What size block is the center of your boxed squares? Is it from Maryquilts.com? I should cut some of these for leader enders. That pile of blocks is awesome. Do they have an assigned quilt yet?
