Still tripping

I've spent today sewing together more scrappy trip blocks in blue. 

Here are my 10 new blocks. 

My total blocks together.

I love my Friday

Tripping

I haven't been very good at blogging again. But I have been busy. 

Firstly my lovely children started a year of school. 

My little man started school this year. He started at our amazing specialist school and is settling in well. He also turn 5 this week. Where has the time gone??

Mostly, I have been juggling work, family commitments and craft time. I have made some great quilt tops with the Trip Around The World pattern. It was fun to sew together. This pattern uses strip pieces and can be found in this book. 

I have pieced a WIP from 2006 (I know) and have been destashing. 
My WIP using 3" strips. 

This one uses 2.5" strips. It fits a twin bed (single bed). 

And fabric for another one using 2.5" strips 

I have also been playing with 2" strips in blues creating some scrappy trip blocks. I have 9 out of 121.

Until next time.
